I went shooting this weekend w/ a guy and a girl I know. Both are liberal, flowers, peace and love types. (Shoulda been in their teens in the '60s). They had the attitude concerning me "You're such a nice guy. Why do you own guns?"
But being open-minded they went shooting with me in rural Kansas this weekend. I bought along an AK, a 9mm, a Mosin Nagant, and a .22 rifle. The 1st thing I did was hand the girlfriend the AK after a short lecture on safety rules, and not crossing someone's field of fire.
She looked nervous at first, but her face lit up like a Christmas tree after she shot a little (she was hitting can and bottles set up within 100 yards after only a couple shots). Her boyfriend tried the Mosin, and liked the additonal power.
I can't say they are now rkba firebrands that will join pro-gun orgs, and arm to the teeth, but now they might question a couple of laws propossed b/f throwing blind support to them.
I started as them, an anti-gun idiot who hated firearms. Then, my uncle took me shooting. After that (and the next couple of years), I became a huge 2nd Amendment fan (once I realized how important the 2nd is, and how it stands w/ all other fundamental human rights).
I take antis shooting whenever possible. So, anyone else have a similar story? Anyone else "converting" antis.
