Michigan Journalist Takes A Gun Class


. . . and later excitedly tells her dad!

"But the backbone of the NRA is its gun safety and shooting courses. So if you're one of those people who flinch when the NRA is mentioned, think of them as driver's safety instructors."

Bingo! She hit the nail on the head!

"Guns are loud. When you first shoot, it can be a bit startling. But after six rounds of shooting I was hitting the plates pretty consistently. I was also feeling pretty good about myself.

"I went to gun class. I learned to handle a gun safely. I met new friends. I got introduced to a new sport and a new way to meet people. All of this jolted me out of my somewhat boring treadmill existence. And like a kid in grade school, I proudly took my shot up paper plates home to show my dad."

Sounds like a typical, incredibly positive experience for Ms. Zaher as she was introduced to one of the safest sports around.
