OK ... I don't want to blow this. Tomorrow I'll take my former college professor out shooting. He has never before fired a gun, but nevertheless is a supporter of the RKBA.
Of course, I'm ready to take out as many guns as possible so he can shoot the gamut. My wife cautioned that that is probably not a good idea. As usual, she's right.
So, between what I have and what I can borrow, here is my current list, in the order I will introduce them to him:
1. Ruger 10/22 with 4x scope - .22LR
2. AR-15 - .223
3. Ruger Security Six - .38 Special
4. Sig 228 - 9mm
Decided against the shotgun, though it is tempting to take it in case he wants to try it as well. I'd like to take a .22 revolver, and start him off even easier on handguns, but ...
I figured I'd try to keep it down to 1 to 1 1/2 hours so I don't wear out his trigger finger, etc. We'll start with about 15 minutes of safety info / discussion.
Your ideas and advice are greatly appreciated. I want to handle this as well as possible. Thanks.
