We tend to make fun of COP's episodes, or the news or our neighbors and friends when they make, to us, grievous mistakes regarding firearms.
The fact is shooting, guns and shooting sports is a pretty technical skill and one where the average person has not only limited knowledge but lots of mis-information from TV, the news etc.
Take a few minutes to teach or set straight those around you regarding firearms and shooting. Best case scenario, take them shooting. Worst case scenario educated them while watching a movie or the news.
Don't make fun of them, don't disavow them just because they don't know any better, educate them. The GREAT MAJORITY of people know little to nothing about firearms and what they do know comes from Movies, TV and the news. Instead of brushing them off as ANTI or stupid, teach them, tell the the truth and let them make an informed decision.
You will win more people over to our side that way then you will by saying they are stupid and "From my cold dead hands etc......"
But what do I know.
