Absolutely. My kids have all had the in-depth NRA sanctioned handgun training and range time. One of them enjoyed it, the other didn’t, but they both got it. Even though they won’t have the chance to “engage” here unless I’m involved, they know how to properly handle a firearm and render it safe, which is most important to me.
I’m working on the wife to take a “ladies” course that the local range does on a regular basis. Health reasons have sidelined that for now, but it’s still on my mind for when she’s able. I think the NRA is OK as an advocacy organization even separated from the political aspect of it. They advocate for safety and do a lot of really good things in that regard, and for that I approve. Education is really the key when it comes to owning and using a firearm, no matter what kind it is. I’m not going to get involved in the politics of gun ownership, as this is not the place for it. Suffice to say that those that own guns should have every opportunity to be trained to use them properly and safely and if there is an organization that helps to do that, I’m good with it in that respect. It’s a win-win for everyone, I think. -D > On Jan 30, 2017, at 6:52 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > And now we are heading down the political road.
