In the last two weeks I have had more requests to learn how to use a gun (handgun/shotgun) from people than I have had in the last two years. I don't know if it is the economic times, or concern, or my choosing to be more visible with gun stuff, but man it is swamping me. And I could not be happier!
And the strange thing is that it is coming from all corners: libertarians, liberals, conservatives, environmentalists, gays, you name it.
It has me wondering exactly why. Why now?
I understood the number of people who were suddenly interested right after Katrina. That was obvious. It sure kicked me back into motion!
But then all those years with heightened fear and some requests. But now, it is different. Maybe it is an upswing in crime? Or, maybe we are going from a politics of fear into a politics of panic? That is my current theory.
Who knows. But I feel like the guy in the woods standing still and watching all the animals from predator to prey all running past me and I am not sure why.
In any event, it means a lot more fun cause I get to get in more time at the range!
