A buddy of mine and his wife are coming down this weekend as they have decided to enter into the world of gun ownership. Home defense and he owns a business and has some of the typical Seattle-area folks that frequent the area near his business.
They want to go to the range with me and see what they like, etc.
Told them before we even sniff the range they need to come to the house, go over some safety topics (muzzle awareness, how to behave at a range (do’s and dont’s) and the responsibility that goes with even picking up a gun.
Sent them a couple of videos on new ownership and safety and this will be the first of many conversations.
Gave them a couple place near where they live to enter into a gun safety class and that is about all I have planned for this first salvo.
Many of you have gone through this exercise with friends and family.
What am I missing, what have you done, and most importantly how do I maximize this for them?
Thanks for any responses and information.
