People in America started by developing the Yellow Turban Army.

What is the biggest impression of America that an Asian, or rather an Asian man, has of the country before going abroad?

It's not prosperity, not freedom, and not some so-called democracy.

It was a gun!

Legal gun ownership!

What man wouldn't like this... no, I should say, an Eastern man?

What Eastern man doesn't enjoy the feeling of pulling the trigger and unleashing firepower on the target?

As for whether someone who has just arrived in America and just gotten off the plane is qualified to go to the shooting range,

He had checked before he came; if you have a green card, there are no restrictions!

Not to mention that he still has several documents in his inventory indicating that he can legally own guns and can buy guns at gun shops now, let alone go to shooting ranges.

That's right!

Before Chen Ping'an even planned to come to Los Angeles, he had already been researching this kind of information. His original plan was to find a shooting range and enjoy playing with guns after he landed and settled down!

"So you wanted to play with guns!"

"Sure!"

"There are tons of shooting ranges in Los Angeles!"

"Get in the car, today Brother Yong will treat you to something special!"

The joking title "Old Man" comes from Chen Ping'an's extremely high seniority in his hometown. Currently, a child in the same ancestral hall has already been born who calls him "Ancestor."

After learning about Chen Ping'an's seniority in his hometown, his roommates would jokingly add, "You old man," as a playful remark.

The shooting range is very close to the place where we eat, less than 30 kilometers away, which takes less than 20 minutes by car.

You have to sign three forms upon entering.

Once inside, they will be questioned about their relationship to confirm that they are companions and longtime friends.

"On their side, one person cannot come to play with guns, so if you want to enter this shooting range to play with guns, you must have two or more people."

You need to know each other and have this person in your social media or past call records.

"Having met before means you knew each other and had a close relationship."

While taking Chen Ping'an to complete the gun rental procedures, he explained to him that the person had just asked to understand their relationship.

Why can't a person come to the shooting range to shoot guns?

Does someone have to come with you?

Chen Ping'an was confused and wondered, "Can't a person handle a gun?"

Lin Zhiyong quickly explained, "According to their explanation, they were afraid that customers would commit suicide at the shooting range after renting a gun."

Therefore, it is necessary for two people to come together.

The fact that someone was accompanying him shows that he's been in good spirits lately, hasn't acted impulsively, and hasn't experienced any major setbacks, which is why a friend was willing to come with him to the shooting range.

Oh!

I see, so it seems Los Angeles...

Ah, no, it should be that the reason this shooting range has this rule is probably because someone once committed suicide here.

After all, there's an ironclad rule: behind every outrageous regulation lies a little story.

"As they just said, it has to be a friend you've known for a long time, and a friend who came with you."

You can't just wait outside for any random person to join you.

Because of this casual acquaintance, I don't know how you were feeling before coming here, where you went, or what setbacks you suffered.

Does he have any self-destructive tendencies?

"What if you pick up a random guy you met outside, come in, kill him first, and then destroy yourself? Who can the boss complain to then?"

While talking, he helped Chen Ping'an complete the gun rental procedures.

Chen Ping'an didn't know much about guns; he had only handled one during military training.

If you're from Guangxi, you might have already had live-fire training since junior high school. In some border cities, they even start training in battlefield first aid and close-quarters combat from junior high school.

Unfortunately, Chen Ping'an is from Guangdong.

I was only allowed to fire five live rounds during military training in college. I did well, hitting all the targets, but my scores were quite poor.

As for handguns, he never even touched one.

This is his past.

So Lin Zhiyong made the decision for him on which gun to rent, renting him a Glock 17 and a Chinese AK.

He himself carried a Glock rifle and an AR-15 civilian semi-automatic rifle.

"The Glock 17 is very suitable for beginners. The Chinese AK, also known as the Type 56, is best suited for our hand shape."

This is your first real experience with a gun!

Lin Zhiyong was very thoughtful; he even found Chen Ping'an a professional coach.

He could handle guns himself, but he was definitely not a good instructor. For safety's sake, he paid for a professional instructor for Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an didn't say he knew about guns because it was difficult to explain how he did.

Moreover, looking at the Glock and the 56-stroke engine, which had been modified into a semi-automatic 56-stroke engine, he felt that this choice was in line with his own ideas, so he approved of the decision that Lin Zhiyong had made for him.

There's plenty of time. Once you're settled, you can buy whatever gun you want to play with.

Let's enjoy this moment first!

"Your coach is here, a professional!"

Have a good time!

When Lin Zhiyong saw the coach arrive, he took the two guns he had rented and two boxes of bullets to his target range.

The coach was an old man; I couldn't tell if he was 50 or 60, but he was definitely quite old.

He had a full white beard, and not just his face, but his whole body was quite thin. He spoke very politely.

This is probably because they are dealing with their bread and butter, and also with people from one of the most generous countries for tourism to the United States – the East Asians.

"Sir, have you ever handled a gun before?"

Chen Pingan shook his head: "No, you should know that guns are banned in our country."

Aside from a brief period of basic military training during enrollment, during which I briefly handled a gun, I did not gain any in-depth understanding of firearms.

So I'm sorry to trouble you, but it seems I need to start learning from the basics!

Chen Ping'an actually had some basic theoretical knowledge about guns and their use.

But so what?

Since I've already paid for this coach, I'll just listen to how he teaches, compare it with the theoretical knowledge in my head, and learn from his strengths to make up for my weaknesses.

Eastern tourists are known for their politeness and friendliness, though of course, there are a few oddballs.

However, when shooting at the shooting range, most people can control their temper and won't get angry easily, whether they are from East Asia or Europe and America.

If you lose your temper randomly here, you're never sure if a bullet will send you to meet your maker the next second.

Moreover, since he had already received the money, the old coach diligently explained the movements to Chen Ping'an.

All the rules and regulations that must be followed at the shooting range, such as... never pointing the gun at people, checking the gun after shooting, and then pulling the trigger while pointing it at the open ground in front of you.

Make sure there are no bullets in your gun.

Before you test the gun, don't point randomly. Making random movements at some shooting ranges could get you shot by the instructor or safety officer.

After the coach demonstrated all the movements to him, he handed him the gun, magazine, and bullets.

Then he retreated to Chen Ping'an's left side and behind him.

"Start your gun-playing journey!"

Chen Ping'an felt that compared to the theoretical knowledge in his mind, what the old coach was explaining was too simplistic.

However, this is understandable, as he is just a shooting range instructor.

He stretched out his hands, and the moment they touched the Glock 17 on the table, his body trembled and he involuntarily began to move.

With clean and efficient movements, he loaded ten bullets into the magazine, inserted the magazine, chambered the round, raised the gun, and fired, completing the entire process in one smooth motion.

If it weren't for the shooting range's magazine, which is only allowed to hold 10 bullets according to regulations, he could have shot a target paper 15 meters away into a plum blossom shape.

The old coach to his left and behind looked completely bewildered: Does this guy not know how to handle a gun?
