Good luck to everyone that wants to go. I hope those people that get to participate learn some good stuff and ultimately write better stories.

What an incredible opportunity! Chuck, any chance the gun club will happen again? I’d love to participate.

Should I buy a .308 or a 6.5mm creedmoor hunting rifle?

I have never even seen an AR in real life I’m going to fight the urge to ride it like the bomb in Dr. Strangelove.

Don't fight the urge, Erin... give in!

This is the coolest offer I’ve seen from any author / journalist / musician I follow. Hat’s off to ya, wish I was in the area.

During the Branch Davidian siege in Waco, I called them, the FBI, to offer my help in negotiations with David Koresh. I think I’ve been on their list since then :)

The fact that this could be recorded and put on Netflix makes it all the more devastating that there is a dress code at these places. The world deserves to see me and Erin blasting AKs in spike heels and opera length gloves!!! It's unjust! Damn it. It's un-American.

Dress code states as long as said spike heels are either camo or day-glo orange you’re good!

Hey Krissy! How have you been??

I've been good! I've been bad! I've been ugly! Working on fiction and taking names. What about you?

I've been having a blast reading all the Gloves Off. It's like I'm learning something new with each one, and I thought I was already pretty well-versed in Chuck's minimalism.

Or...I might be using Chuck's substack as an excuse to avoid writing...

I'm sorry!

I am outraged! If not at a gun range where else will I ever be able to wear my fanciest gloves and sexiest ball gown goddamn it! Krissy and I now need a new event for our wares.

The Netflix peeps says their plane is going out Sunday evening, so it's only a slim chance they'll come to tape us.

That's only a little comforting. I was hoping to bring a pair of heels for you too, Chuck. I guess I still could.

Dress code? Growing up in Ohio the shooting range was a popular spot for pre-prom dates! Tons of ball gowns and heels walking in there. Although admittedly some were camo.

Sounds like it's shaping up to be quite the memorable experience! Hope everyone attending has a great time 😊

Krissy and Erin said they want to shoot some World War 2 cannons or at the very least, some rocket launchers.

XD kidding...or am I?

I’m up for anything! As long as it killed nazis it’s good with me.

Super excited for the Netflix people to record in your workshop. Chuck, make it really intense, like, make someone cry if you have to. Maybe throw a chair? "Whiplash" it up.

Expand full comment

Good luck on coercing the Netflix folks! That’s seems like it would make awesome footage.

I cannot thank you enough, Chuck. This has been one of my best months so far. I live for Gloves Off. These past few days, you've given me multiple orgasms. And I mean those powerful, haven't-masturbated-for-months kind of spurts. The kind that dampen the entire front of your boxer briefs. I'm talking about the kind of orgasm that would force a monk to break his lifelong vow of silence.

Okay, maybe not that last one, but still, thank you!
