Home on the Range:A British Reporter tries to be objective

Reading the article, I can't tell whether or not the author shot a gun while he was at the range. I mean, let the guy pop off a few rounds, see how fun it is. I wonder how many months old he was when he last shot clay pigeons.

At least he does acknowledge that most gun owners are law-abiding. That's progress if you ask me.

In fairness, safety is the main issue you are tasked to remember when you enter the range. As two first-time shooters, my friend Lou and I were in the capable hands of our buddies Scott and Justin - two regulars at the range. Scott, a former navy man and current reservist, was an excellent teacher, instructing us exactly how and where to hold each gun, showing us how to load and telling us how much the gun would kick. Justin meanwhile picked up a 12-gauge Remington shotgun and blew the target next to us to smithereens ... before then becoming an equally excellent instructor with his selection of weapons.

From this ,I have to ASSume our man from Britain actually fired off some rounds.

Well, at least he was man enough to give it the old college try.
