For the past year, since I moved back to California, I have been a member at an indoor shooting that’s locate in a beach city. Every weekend I see guys showing up with girls that appear to be “trophy girlfriends” to “teach” them to shoot. Nearly every time I witness this I also witness the guys that run the range going through a lengthy discussion on safety with the couples.
Initially I thought it was because these guys bringing their girls to the range didn’t know range and safety rules themselves. I asked one of the range staff about this one day and he said that they want to make sure the girl, if she is inexperienced, knows the rules and knows about the safe handling of firearms. .
