Hey folks,
I'm a young journalist (still doing some writing, mostly photos these days) and I'm a gun owner. Sometimes it doesn't seem like the two go together, sometimes it does, but I occasionally get a view of journalist idiocracy when it comes to weapons....
I remember going out and covering the beginning of dove hunting season and one of the hunters commented that I was a rare sight, a pro-gun journalist. I dunno, I don't really think of myself as a gun advocate, I've just grown up exposed to the concept of responsible gun use for sport, sustinence, defense....
In ya'll's (is that a word? good enough) experience, what can I do to help my fellow journalists with the world of gun owners and to help my fellow gun owners with the world of journalists?
Thanks,
John
