Finally! After much convincing, a friend finally agreed to join me at the range! He and his wife,whom I have known for years, have always wondered why i carry and shoot guns at all. They aren't anti-gun per say but very hesitant and uneducated about them. Long stary short we had a great day! He had so much fun, asked tons of questions, and said he couldn't wait to go again! I think 500 rnds is a small price to pay to educate another person on firearms in general. Just need to get his wife to come with next time. We took all my guns, not many but it's all I have for now! ruger mini-14 target model, marlin 336 in 30-30, FNP 9mm, and Walther PPS 9mm. I was thinking a .22 rifle and pistol would be a really good teaching tool as well. So her's my question... What do you like to take with you to the range to teach a newbie?
