Bleah, talk about “people with preconceived notions”, those who immediately launch into a soft target and tear him to shreds.
As so many have said above, this is a POSITIVE experience that HELPS EDUCATE those who truly do not “get” the historic “gun culture” that so many of us were blessed to grow up with, that guns are for protection, hunting, and recreation.

Michael, if you are reading this, I appreciate you and your story. **Good for you** to not only be willing to step into what was unfamiliar territory, but further to record your experience for the whole world to comment on... in many cases, unfairly. I hope you continue with your education to more fully understand our 2nd amendment concerns.
You may well find that when you are responsible for protecting a family with little ones, everything changes. I hope you will write again then.
Well stated. I think the problem often boils down to those who have never been exposed to the harsh and cruel world this can indeed become, vs. those who have had some exposure to that harshness and cruelty. And in the end, it is about protecting your own life and that of your loved ones.
It's not red necks vs. sophisticates. Is is realists vs. sheltered idealists.
