Two years ago, I was working at the shotgun station. The kids always shoot first but we leave time for any parents that want to shoot. I had a dad come to my station and tell me the following
"We just moved here from New York City. I am from an anti-gun family. I did not realize that my kid would be shooting today. Since I am here I will give it a try."
I talked him through the safety procedures and how to lead the clay pigeon. He went 4 for 5. After giving me the shotgun back he said, "That was very fun! I am going to have to rethink my anti-gun stance."
If we can get the new DSC Chapters supporting Outdoor Adventures Classes in schools and doing a SAFETY Extravaganza, we can change some hearts and minds.
