What a beautiful day out today!
A co-worker of mine has been getting interested in getting a handgun. I am "the gun guy" at work so he came to me. He came over to my place the other night so I could show him a few different options and talked for several hours about everything guns.
Took him to the range today for a little hands on experience and I think we have a new addict!
Took a little variety of things for him to try. 9mm. pistol, .38 snubbie, .22lr, and the AK for fun.
He did great! Followed all the safety rules to a T and had an excellent first experience. When we were leaving he laughed and said "look". I looked and he was referring to his hand holding the staple gun with his finger positioned in a way as to not be on the trigger and he wasn't even thinking about it. I told him I can't even pick my son's Nerf guns up without doing that.
On the drive home he was already talking about how he would like to have a semiauto handgun, a revolver, a shotgun, and a rifle.
Getting new shooters involved is honestly one of the things I enjoy most about the shooting sport. I should have snapped a pic of one of his targets. He really did a great job shooting!
