My idea of a “cool” King

[GJM]

Recall that the King attended Gunsite back in the 90’s, and that probably influenced his handgun choice.

I thought this was going to be about Elvis shooting a TV with a vintage revolver. #disappointed (https://pistol-forum.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=disappointed)

I thought the video was excellent...walkin' the walk and all

I briefly met his dad, the first Hussein, when I was a kid. He was a modern thinker as well.

I can't imagine how many enemies that guy must have. Very cool vid.

Hey any leader who can put up when/if needed gets some respect in my book. Pretty nifty.

Also disappointed in not seeing Elvis doing some high-speed stuff.

Pretty cool.

I've heard the King likes motorcycles too.

IIRC, the King spent some quality time at Ft. Bragg back when he was a prince.

The story I heard went that, when they needed to inform him that he had been named the next king, he was training on Smoke Bomb Hill...

That’s kinda what I was thinking.

...and a book, and a car. Elvis enjoyed shooting objects that irritated him.

For the King of Jordan, he seems quite popular with Jordanians. My FIL was a big fan, for sure.

The preceding Jordanian king, and father of the present one, King Hussein, was cool, too, in his day. Like father, like son, and hopefully, this will repeat.

I remember seeing, on TV, King Hussein flying the Jordanian equivalent of Air Force One, over Israel, as a bold gesture of peace. It was not a mere stunt; King Hussein was known for his love of flying airplanes. When was the last time a US President piloted Air Force One?
