Perfectly justified fear, of course, but it really shows how things are getting scary. It was a really unsettling thread how everyone was sharing stories of their conservative relatives or neighbors who daily talk about killing them.

    I'm actually from an area where everyone target shoots and has guns, and have had a .22 growing up, iron sights, no scope. I wasn't a bad shot then and I'm probably not now.

    That being said it just doesn't sit right with me, it's like an anxiety. I don't have a specific concern, but you're right, there's more than one way to be involved and it takes all of us in a lot of different ways.

        Also, most ranges won't let you rent a gun unless you bring a buddy (in case someone got the bright idea to rent a gun and off themselves at the range), so make sure you have that covered.

            Might be worth starting that conversation with someone you trust, if possible. Otherwise reach out to your local SRA branch.
