> Yeah, cause everyone practicing shooting guns in the basement leaves the front door open. BS.
Probably some college kids or liberals paid by the Obama administration to create a news story for nationwide attention to once again create alarm among the hoplophobiaites.
Funny timing; just yesterday I was eating out with a large group and sitting next to a gal and the topic of guns came up at the table; about how more people are carrying the nowadays because of the insanity and state of affairs that the nation has descended into since we we went all hope and changy and I asked her if she carried and she said “oh no, I’m deathly afraid of them”. I asked her if she’d ever fired a gun before and if she said “no” and that she didn’t care to. I also said they don’t kill anybody unless someone holds the gun and pulls the trigger. I’ve had this conversation many hoplophiaites. The sad fact is that they’ve never had anyone show them how to use one or how much fun target practice or hunting with one is. Therein lies the problem.
>> about how more people are carrying the nowadays
On a side note on this, over 8% of the adult population of my state (GA) has a concealed carry license. I was surprised and somewhat elated when I found this out.
“...I’ve had this conversation many hoplophiaites...”
And there’s your opening to say “Tell you what. I’ll take you to the range and TEACH you.”
I became a firearms instructor just for that reason. Every gun owner we create/convert is one less for the other side.
Especially women; you teach a woman to shoot, to be able to protect herself, and give her the appreciation of the fact that she can - I can guarantee you NO ONE will ever take a firearm out of her hands.
