lmk if this isn't allowed, but would love to hear some recommendations for a shooting range in baltimore. feel free to pm some recommendations if it's not meant to be public

[goosehd]

@louisbosco If I learned anything from watching the Wire, most back streets and alleys. They will also return fire to make it more interesting…

[louisbosco]

@goosehd cause the motto is "it's more fun when it shoots back"

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco well it is America after all, there are shooting ranges littered all over the dang place! I found this one that has skeet shooting, which can be fun. Are you looking to rent a firearm? They have rentals there.

Edit: oh and FWIW,

"During the first half of 2026, the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) continued to achieve historic reductions in homicides and other major crime categories while maintaining clearance rates that significantly exceed national averages"

I’m honestly not familiar with anything locally. I can look around though.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt are you able to share a head count from that Google form? I'm curious how many folks signed up to go.

[Matt]

Last I checked it was 60ish. @giles has the form in his name so he can provide a more up to date number. I’m just checked in the the venue, Ministry of Brewing, for the Saturday party and we’re all set.

Pretty soon I’ll try to get a rough headcount of those who will be here earlier and/or later to see what will work logistically.

My thought is that as long as as everyone can secure their own transportation via uber or on foot/ebike/e-scooter then I can gauge the number of people available and coordinate hangs accordingly starting on the Wednesday before. We’ll do a football at the bar day on Sunday. That one’s easy. I’m still off work on Monday and Tuesday after so we’ll have some options then as well.

Folks are also encouraged to sight see on their own. Baltimore has tons of history and culture so excursions among families or smaller groups are totally doable, you can either plan your own or ask for tips.

Fells Point Bar Crawl on Friday will be fun.

If Haribo makes edibles I’m about to be in real trouble.

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago oh shizzle

[Oaktavia]

Was just walking through Sports Authority @Matt what the fuck are these?!:

[Matt]

Those are the very very hard to find 2026 City Connect hats. They sell out fast around here. The B is modeled after the one on the end of the seat rows at the Yard.
