E1CM and I went to the Pioneer Range today to watch others enjoy shooting our ammunition.
There was a Benchrest match that had all of the rifle ranges closed off so we went to the plate rack and shot handguns.
Along came a young man who was helping with the Benchrest shoot, he had been observing the non shooters at the BR and heard us bangin and clangin...
He was Awestruck by the 1911s I brought and The Glock and the ARs...
He even thought Erics small pile of guns were cool! He had never fired a handgun but had shot rifles for a while.
I taught him how to shoot the handgun and he was a natural!
Then he brought his girlfriend over and we Eric and I helped her become a new shooter, she had not fired a GUN of any kind before in her life...
They were having a ball, then a father and son came to watch and I let them shoot my 1911 (Non shooters Dad/Grandad was over not shooting BR)
Both were astounded by my Comtac Ears...
They both went from non shooters to fair to midland shooters.
Dad then left and came back with Daughter whom had never shot a firearm of any kind...
She did quite well fairly quickly. Then Dad wanted to look at Eric's "MP5" with CAN so I showed him that, Let him shoot it.
Then let Daughter shoot it, then they left and came back with Mom, she wanted to take pictures of Daughter with the guns...
Freedom Rang in the form of Bullets on Steel!
I wore my Spikes tactical shirt, White with Sanskrit "Non Believer" on the front
All in all an enjoyable day introducing new shooters to the pleasure of an essential freedom!
As to waterboarding? Well I have been waterboarded, I survived and am only slightly tweeked... WATERBOARD THEM ALL! IF YOU GET ONE TINY BIT OF EVIDENCE AND INFO THAT SAVES ONE AMERICAN LIFE?
