My buddy Publicola has a couple of posts up here and here suggesting that just as we have Buy A Gun day and Buy Ammo Day, the pro-gun folks should also have an American Range Trip day. Read both his posts in the order I listed them. I think it's a good idea (although like many of you, a trip to the range is an at least weekly event for me) and since he asked for input, I thought I'd tweak it just a bit by making it a Bring a Friend to the Range day. As in take someone who isn't into target shooting (or guns, or doesn't like guns, etc) and show them what the sport is all about.

Regulars know that I've been posting about several programs supported by many states that encourage people to learn about and participate in the shooting sports. Perhaps a special day set aside (it would probably have to be a weekend day each year) to try to make one convert to our side of the argument that guns can be a lot of fun, or at least that with proper training and safe handling, there's nothing to be afraid of regarding them.

Head on over to his posts and offer your comments.
