I got an email from a guy in St. Louis today.  He's considering getting a self-defense gun and learning to shoot, but he's never fired a gun before.  I offer to take people shooting for the first time free of charge - I provide the weapons, range fees, safety equipment, targets, everything, but I live in Tucson.

I posted the email he sent me at my blog if you want to read about how he came to his decision.  I'm looking for someone who won't go gun-nut yahoo on a newbie.

Can anybody help?

Yes, but I can't do it this weekend.

Hmmm...  Maybe a "fire" mission for the St. Louis contingent.

He also needs to get in touch with JPFO, or maybe you can arrange that.

I can help, have ranges on private property and couple toys for him to learn and play with, including F/A. Only 1hr 30 mins west St Louis.

Actually, he's recently undergone hernia surgery, (lots of computer time during recovery) but he won't be shooting anything for a couple of weeks.  Right now I'm just getting him contact info.

Thanks!
