TAKE AN ANTI TO THE RANGE DAY

[MatthewVanitas]

MatthewV - What was your negative experience? Is there something we can do to keep this from happening to us as well?

I don't think there was much that could have been done about the negative one. She was a buddy's girlfriend who came shooting with us, who spent the entire car-ride to the range complaining about how guns kill little kids. While at the range she refused to even touch any guns, and jumped visibly at every single shot. Maybe ten minutes after we got there, a well-dressed young couple came in and started shooting a few lanes down. The girlfriend then started whining to her boyfried "I wanna try!" She turned out to be very good with the Single Six .22, and relaxed a bit. Absolutely refused to touch the Nylon 66 .22 rifle: "it's really big, like you could kill a deer with it." Car-ride back home: said shooting was okay, but guns kill little kids.

She was a very attractive woman, very intelligent and did great in all the college classes I had with her, but very emotionally immature. Very sheltered girl living in a wealthy part of Seattle, parents were Danish businessmen temporarily living in the States. Very glad that it was my buddy dating her and not me. So I guess the only lesson would be: you probably don't want to take emotionally immature people to the range, but you might not find out their true colors until you get them there.

anti's

send all anti's to the range so they can get with the program. they think it's all about killing but it's not. lot of fun just shooting, I got three girlfriends to change their minds about guns and shooting and they all loved it. well ya got ta teach them how to do it right. we all know it's not fun to go to the range and not hit anything. do your job and show them a good time we will all come out ahead in the long run!!!

anti guns is something put into peoples minds as kids just like racism. we was'nt born racist it's just something you get from influence of others. if people just gave it a try most will like it. guns don't kill people stupid people kill people. my last girlfrend was anti gun from her father who is a lawyer. i got her shooting bulls with my trailside and she is hooked for sure. every few days she wants to go shooting at the range or the house, still working on long rifles she is still scared of anything bigger than a .22 my fault i let her shoot my kimber .45 the first day, but i'm still teaching her the basics of poa and breathing and she is doing very good! don't give up guys! some times getting someone else to shoot good fells better than shooting good myself.
