Stereotypes are born and perpetuated through the media. Negative news sells, good news doesn't. <br /><br />A well written article!

I'm very cautious to let people know I shoot, and teach shooting. Luckily, most people are accepting and I've found a lot of students be admitting that I shoot.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting.

As I wrote on my blog, I've found the gun community overall to be full of welcoming, kind, generous, genuine people, and I've been quite awed and humbled by how readily I'm accepted there and by how willing people are to go out of their way to help me learn and grow - as a shooter and as a person. However, this is not the stereotype the rest of the world thinks about when they imagine "gun people", and I think we have a responsibility as much as possible to present that good side of shooting and gun folks to counter the prejudices. Like it or not, once anti-gun folks know we shoot, they ARE scrutinizing us more closely. We have a duty, I think, to live and act in ways that withstands the scrutiny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227069281563782835.post-73116353978140680332012-08-03T11:52:37.946-07:002012-08-03T11:52:37.946-07:00I agree.I agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
