Over the holidays, I took a new shooter, Allie, to the range. Allie's father took some pictures with his cell phone when we were there and graciously sent them to me (along with Allie's permission to use them here).
Allie had a great time, just look at that smile. She enjoyed herself in a safe environment and learned that a firearm is not the mind controlling lump of evil metal it's portrayed as via the media and the Brady Bunch. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of many trips to the range as part of the reason she wanted to go was because her campus' College Republicans group often went shooting and she wanted to go along.
We win because we are right, because the facts back us up without having to resort to distortions, and because of young adults like Allie.
