Welcoming new gun owners..

Postby yukonjasper on Sat Jan 23, 2021 9:58 pm

I thought this was a good article on how the gun owning community can retain new gun owners in an effort to swell our ranks in hopes of staving off the apparent imminent threat to the 2nd Amendment.

Probably too touchy Feely for the resident curmudgeon faction here, but I think its good advice overall.

You might be underestimating curmudgeons.

I'm as curmudgeonly as anyone else here and I didn't see anything wrong with the article.
I will never apologize for being an American.

It’s not just being a curmudgeon.

There are a lot of them that aren’t white male conservative Christians anymore too. :)
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.

I take anybody to the range. You just have to be a safe minded, honest, decent person willing to listen to instruction. I don't care what race, gender, or religion (or lack there of) you are.

Justa saying...based on some of the commentary here, I wouldn’t find it very welcoming even if I wanted to go shooting with some of you.

Every group of people have a few bad apples, but I would say the folks on here that I have met are the most helpful welcoming folks I have ever known. Or do I owe Russtra an apology?
