Re: Must read for all conscientious gun owners

Great article. It reminds me of a time my wife and I were sharing a stall and a young woman set up next to us. She took out her gun and tried several times to insert the magazine backwards. She finally figured it out and started shooting. Her hands shook badly and the shots were actually hitting the ground in front of the target 10 ft away.
I immediately started packing our things when my wife finished her magazine. My wife looked at me like I was crazy wanting to know why we were leaving. I pointed to the woman in the next stall and said we were leaving and telling the front office about this woman before she shoots someone.
My wife looked over at the woman who at this point had tears rolling down her cheeks. I sat in the lobby for a long time as my wife first sat and talked with the woman and then helped her work through gun safety and shooting techniques. The woman left the range a different person, not only because someone took time to show her how to properly handle the firearm, but because someone took time to talk to her about what she was going through that brought her to the range in the first place.
I learned a lot that day, my wife made sure of it.
