I was out at my local gun range this last Friday, thinking about some of this stuff. I know the anti's standard line of 'more guns leads to more violence'. But, if that's true, shouldn't a gun range be the most violent place on earth? Here I am, surrounded by dozens of folks I don't know, all of us armed to the teeth and putting dozens (if not hundreds) of rounds downrange.....and yet, there's no violence going on. No one getting shot; no one being threatened with sudden death, just a nice bunch of folks enjoying a sunny day.
Need to go downrange to change targets? Just let the line know and breaks will happen to let you go...in spite of the range not having a rangemaster or anyone else in charge.
Curious about a gun? Lots of shooters will let you examine, and often even shoot what they have. I met a party that had all revolvers, and with me being a wheelgunner, I had a good time comparing models along with seeing how they shoot.
New to the area? Great place to meet new friends.
Need shooting tips or need to know how a chrono works? Likely someone will help you out.
Now if I could just drag a bunch of the sheeple that follow the anti crowd out of ignorance down to the range, maybe we could beat the anti's once and for all! Then again, as crowded as my local range has been these past few weeks, maybe that's what IS happening!
