    Took some lefties shooting

    Not left handed. The wife and I took some pretty liberal friends to the range today for a friends wife's birthday. They both said they were pretty anti back in their younger years (probably their California college indoctrination) but lately with todays climate have been leaning more to the pro side. He owns a 30-30 that was his dads but hasn't shot in over 20 years. We never talk about politics because I never wanted the drama that comes with it. Lately he's been talking about getting something for home defense. Anyway his wife brought it up that she wanted to go so I jumped at the chance to show them.

    I brought a few different models for them to try out. I started both off with my Browning Buckmark due to the low recoil and that it is almost impossible to miss with it. We then graduated up to .380 then 9mm. The friends wife put her first 6 with my wife's G42 inside the center ring at 10 yards, she loved it. He liked my 92fs a lot. The only gun they didn't like was the .357 mag, too much concussion for them. I think they have come over to the dark side. They want to take the AR's and big guns out next time. Score one more to our side, now to just talk them into voting the right direction.

      Taking libs shooting is actually more fun than taking already pro-gunners shooting IMO

      It's funny watching their pre-conceived anti notions come crashing down.

        that is the main issue. you have to change their thinking from "this is a hobby" to "this is my right and you will not take it away"

        cause i know some lefties that loves guns, but wouldn't mind it if they were all banned since they don't view it as that important.

          Haha awesome.

          Reminds me of when I brought my COD gamer friend shooting. I always would go off on how I loved Aks more than ARs. He was an M4 fan (in video games lol) and talked so much crap about Aks. When I took him shooting for the first time, I had him shoot 1 round in the mag for 5 minutes so he'd get comfortable loading and unloading. When I showed him the AK, he liked the AK better because of the simple controls.

            Every gun owner should do this every year. Not for political reasons, but to open the eyes of gun haters so they can learn the sport.

            I've taken 6-7 people out over the years and have a couple of invites out now. It will be fun.

                        They would make such wonderful targets if they didn't just freeze up like deer in headlights all the time and if we could get them to stop screaming...

                          Out-freaking-standing! No better way to convert someone than to take them shooting. A couple hours on the range will sort things out pretty quickly...better than any amount of discussion. You'll either convert them or lose them on the range. But it's usually convert.

                            It's leftists not "lefties".

                            Lefties are people in their right minds, while leftists are people not in their right minds.
