Scenes from the range

the last while would've made Schumer, Feinstein and Watts lose what's left of their minds, the mix of people that were seen.  Besides the usual, yesterday I counted two Brits, a Pole, two Indians and two Spaniards.  None had ever touched a gun before and, while here in the US, wanted to try shooting.

And every one left with that smile on their face.  The comment from one of the Brits as they left was "That was wonderful."  Throw in the Pole who was telling how difficult and expensive it is to try to shoot in Poland, who was shocked and amazed and delighted at "I can actually HANDLE that?  I can SHOOT THIS?" 

One of his real shocks was when I pointed out a ~7-year-old girl with he parents: "Her parents are giving her her first shooting lesson."  The look on his face...  Just before he tried a .38 revolver, after having shot a 9mm semi-auto.  And going on from there.

It gives you hope, it does.
