Wow. What a nice article. Whoever collaborated with the reporter on that one did a great job. Nice / fun interviews too.

With Christy, the whole atmosphere is lighter and enjoyable while still being serious about safety and such. When my daughter took her Hunter Safety course there, I was amazed at how well everyone interacted and discussed any issues and was free to ask questions.  We men tend to hold back for fear of looking stupid amongst our peers, I guess.

From the article:
Quote
Pull,” one woman yelled, and an orange disc flew into the air. It broke when the bullet made contact, the sound like a plate shattering on a hardwood floor.

Um ..... er ...... yeah, I head that they shoot clays with centerfire rifles at Whittington ...... but at a begginers' calss in Ashland?  That's a steep learning curve!  ;)
The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.
