We had a lady sit down with us for lunch during our IDPA shooting match today. It was a few minutes before I learned she wasn’t there to compete. She is a reporter for the local newspaper.
She first explained her credentials as a CCW holder and one who at the moment had a gun in her car. It was a little easier after that.
I told her first off that we were the good guys and that competitive shooting was safer than any sport she could name since there have been only two recorded deaths from competitions. She didn’t quite believe that until everyone nodded in agreement.
I think it came off rather well since we had a lot of women competing and even young girls who weren’t old enough to compete were handling the computerized scoring in the office.
It might be interesting if the article is printed and I can post the thread.
It does indeed sound like quite an interesting day! If it does indeed get printed, please feel free to post a link at this thread as well....I'm sure that anyone interested in reading this thread would be interested in yours as well :-)
