Despite the stereotypes propagated by the gun prohibitionists, people in the gun culture are some of the nicest, most inviting people around.
My case in point. I had mentioned in a post early (very early!) Monday morning that I was headed to Phoenix for a business training conference. On Monday afternoon I got this Facebook message from Jaci J of Team Gunblogger.
Hey, I just read your post about the Gun Rights Conference. Will you still be in Phoenix tomorrow? If so, would you like to shoot IDPA with us? We can scrounge up a gun and equipment for you. It's at 5:30 at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club.While I couldn't take her and Robert up on that invitation as my conference extended into the evening, I was really touched by her invitation. It goes to show that the gun culture is full of really nice people.
And next time, I'll skip the steak dinner for a chance to go shooting!
Hey, if I were still in the 480/602, I'd be asking as well! :D
ReplyDeleteNext time you're in Central MO, there's a standing invite for you.
We often visit relatives in St. Louis. If I can get a day away while there, I'd be up for that.
DeleteJaci and Robert are a class act with mad skillz - and a lot of fun to be around too! I'm sure anything they might "scrounge up" would be way-better than the average gunny-stuff too
ReplyDeleteYep, good folks abound! :-)
