Welp, I’m a member of a gun club now. This is a sentence I never thought I would write at this age, if ever. But a bunch of events happened around the same time that sealed the deal for me:
First, about a month ago I completed the concealed carry course, then a few weeks ago I learned a bunch of interesting tips in a self defense class hosted at the gun club. Finally, I got my permit in the mail and bought a gun. Since I drive near a gun club almost every night of the week for my kids’ extracurricular activities, I figured I should stop by to learn more about membership options.
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They probably spent 30 minutes giving me a tour of the place, answering questions, and (gently) selling me on the advantages of a membership. It definitely is one of those memberships where even if you only use it two times a month, it is a better deal than just walking in off the street and shooting. Plus, I’m the kind of person who guilts myself endlessly if I spend money on something I don’t use.
Anyways, I had a pretty decent first round of shooting with the new pistol. These hits were from about 15 feet away:
