Shoot Straight Gun Range (old local where Hwy 441 & Hwy 436 merged in Apopka, Florida)
Taking the state gun safety course (to get CWP, had DD214 but who doesn't want to share dad/daughter quality time like this) with my daughter who was about 11 or 12 back in '93/'94. Word spreads that Wesley Snipes is out front picking up his gold plated desert eagle .50 caliber & some other gun I don't remember. Everyone starts gawking around the corner ( he was alot shorter in real life then I thought ), couldn't convince my daughter to go get his autograph but someone did. Might not be a big deal to others but in a little red neck town like Apopka it was gossip. I thought the woman he was with was Mariah Carey, but my daughter said it wasn't. Within a year or so he got pulled over for speeding on a motorcycle & possible drugs thrown during chase...and seems trouble has followed ever since. I still like his movies (not just because he's from Orlando) & better close encounter then Bob Hope ('73 crossing the hotel lobby with us peering out the kitchen door) & Hal Linden (Barney Miller on 1st floor Altamonte Mall from the 2nd floor doing some kind of on camera thing). Oh what an exciting life.... who's next?
