Took a liberal to the range

[Cygnus]

What myths were dispelled?

Did he notice that the guns didn't jump from the tables and start mass murdering everyone?

1. Most gun owners were crazy wanna kill everyone types.

2. Guns have recoil. he was shocked at the recoil from a P95

3. Shooting 1 handed makes things harder.

4. 180 ronds is a lot of ammo

5. Gunshops are full of xenophobic white men. (This one had a few black folks, some younger women, and indians in it. As well as the women behind the counter running the range portion)

6. Our other friend who got his first gun 2 months ago is still the same guy....

7. Oh yeah and that guns don't go off by themselves!!!

He was also introduced to the caliber wars by the biker-type guy in the parking lot. It ws different from the standard arguement though.
That guy told him 9mm was fine for defense with the right type of ammo or for certain situation and that .45 was the only other option. Told him that .40 was a bad compromise due to recoil. So he's got that to ponder as well.

I'm heading up to MI this weekend so I'll see if I can get him out there again! (Dare me to OC in Detroit??)

Let me add

#8 bullets don't "spray" from a semi-auto

I am so ashamed... I thought this thread was going to be about a new moving target.

Yea me too....I forgot it's not until the after the 3rd trip, if they fail to convert.

 

[tatters]

Well done Cygnus.... Pretty neato when they finally "get it"!

I was HOPING that would be the case!

funny how "liberal" has come to be synonomous with "socialist"--real LIBERals are LIBERtarians! Good establishment democrats like JFK and Hubert Humphrey would probably be rolling over in their graves if they hear the anti-2A; anti freedom crap the democialist party espouses now.

I was in a conversation with a liberal female friend of mine who is terrified of guns. She said "just the other day a lady was shot in the county next to me" I responded "Well dear if guns shoot people do pencils misspell words, and do spoons make people fat?" Her response was "well I do think pencils misspell words sometimes!"

Typical liberal response. hahahahaha

Pics or it didn't happen

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

Oh, lawdy.

Good for you on the conversion.

 

[RainRider]

Good job on the conversion.

 

[redneckpastor]

Excellent job, thanks for putting up with a lib and daring enough to bring him to the range! Need more "normal"" gun owners to bring "anti gun libs" to the range or just out shooting. Had a few instances up here where i talked to a few about carrying and before you know they are getting their license as well!

 

[Ramen]

Great job on the range event.

I am going to try to get a fence sitting friend of mine to go hunting with me tomorrow. Maybe I will have as much success as you at convincing him that my handgun is not going to magically go off and that his baseball bat is a poor substitute for a firearm when protecting his daughter.

 

[Bigswin]

Good luck with the conversion, thanks for sharing.

Resistance is futile. You will become one of us!

Yeh, turns out these ARE the droids your looking for!

 

[Cygnus]

UPDATE: Not sure if this is a result of the range trip BUT....

Just got a call form the liberal friend(potential range target to some of you)

he says that "Obama is becoming a lame president" He says he thinks he should have either brought the troops home from Afganistan or given the general the 60k or even 120k if he needed to get the job done

Interesting development. I think I'lltry for trip 2 to the range next weekend........muhuhaha muhuhaha

 

[Phil502]

Excellent, keep us posted.
