Gun ranges – dual purpose
I like to shoot guns. Unlike exhaust, loud exhaust I might add, guns are even louder! You really need earplugs! I recently joined a gun club where I live. And immediately started going on a weekly basis trying to improve on my marksmanship, which was pretty good to start with. I hadn’t fired any of my weapons for two to three years because I’ve been extremely busy, but now with a little time I’m able to go once a week and shoot. I don’t drink or do any drugs, so I have a little bit of money to buy bullets, and you can go home when you’re done and not have to worry about being stopped for anything. Cheap entertainment!
Anyway, I discovered a lot of people were going to the range, which really surprised me. Come to find out, half the people going to the range were getting ready to take a proficiency test to get their gun permit. I already had mine, although I am preparing to go for my federal permit. I don’t have to worry about qualifying; I consider myself a great shot. I still go every week just to make sure; and it is fun! But back to the people that go there regularly now. They will probably never go back there again after they get their gun permit as it has become quite a controversial issue down here in the Washington area.
While talking to the gun shop owner, who owns the range, he agreed with me too, but business is brisk right now and these people will take all the business they can get! I forgot to mention he holds proficiency classes every Saturday and is booked up for the next three months!
