Good post. I often let people know that I enjoy target shooting, have gotten pretty good at it, and hope to get better, and that I'm getting a nice collection of firearms. I am often stared at in disbelief (I'm a woman, btw)- the reaction is that I don't LOOK like someone who has guns. Oh? And what, pray tell, does a shooter look like? Most people end up stuttering and just change the subject.
I'm not in Illinois, I'm in California, and I'm interested in 2ndA issues everywhere.
And what, pray tell, does a shooter look like?It's important that non shooters and non hunters learn they not only look like, but are, their neighbors.
