What the warm weather means to my friend Jeff, the gay gun nut:

It's finally Spring here in Vermont. While most folks' thoughts turn towards the opposite sex, mine turn towards guns (I'm a little weird that way...). The local range I belong to has just opened for the season. I finally have a weekend off. And, astoundingly, I actually have a little spending money; about $500. I have not bought a gun in two years and damn-it, this Saturday I'm gonna' walk into some gun store and walk out with one...

Here's a story I wrote about him last fall for Out In The Mountains.
