You bet. One of my first-and-favorite desert shooting experiences was ten or so years ago. Jon and I were out in the secret place where we wanted to build the Desert Redout, and Cooper's and my long-time friend Allen drove down from LA to visit. Among Allen's many accomplishments is his work as a Disney animator, and you can bet he appreciated our producing a <i>Lion King</i> popcorn tin by way of a shooting target. We shot the hell out of that sucker. Oh, you can do that. You bet.

That business about Stevens's wife and the Mercury dime does ring a dim, distant bell, though. Of course, we draw the line at shooting Mercury dimes, in part from respect for antiquity, in part from a disinclination to take aim at mythological figures, and in part from some old-timey sense that it just ain't right to shoot ladies -- or androgynous beings. Jon has for-sure done a number on FDR plenty of times. Not out of disrespect for the man or anti-New Deal sentiment (though there is plenty of feeling agin the gummint in general in our households). One of these days I'll post a photo. And if I ever realize my deferred (and nigh-on demolished) dream of establishing a desert redout, all of y'all are invited to come out and shoot stuff -- or just bask like lizards in the sun.
