The Cure For Ignorance

We were just talking about Senator Klein and her bad muzzle discipline (not to mention unnecessary handling of a firearm), and certainly the audio recording of the day seems to say she intentionally muzzled the reporter.

Where do we go from here? We have a politician who obviously gets that the 2nd Amendment isn’t about shooting ducks and deer, and certainly extends outside you home. But her gun handling sucks. Well George at Newbie Shooter had a great idea!

When I read the story, I shot an email to Jane Anne Shimizu, the PR director at Gunsite suggesting that they might want to offer the Senator a spot in one of their 250 classes. Jane Anne replied that they did just that, and that the Senator has accepted the offer.

Awesome! A class will do a world of good for the Senator, and frankly it seems the greatest damage done by lawmakers is born out of ignorance and incompetence. So getting her some solid knowledge on defensive pistol techniques will be good for EVERYBODY!

Good show, George!

    Good for George, and Jane, and hopefully, the Senator!
    Something positive out of a negative!

    Outstanding! Why the NRA doesn’t extend a similar offer to each and every member of Congress, the Judiciary, and the President and his staff is beyond me. They’ve got the facility right there in Virginia.

    Gunsite has a standing policy that they offer the first 250 to any Congressman free of charge.

    You know what she needs? A really snazzy OWB holster that she can show the gun off in, without having to un-holster the thing…

    Yeah….thats the ticket…. 😉

    That “free class to congress people” is the coolest thing I’ve heard all week–and that’s counting the 400 HP Chevette drag race video!

    Yep, training is exactly what is needed. That’s good to hear. So, wait a minute. If I point a gun at someone I don’t go to jail, but I get a really good deal on great training? Where’s my Kel Tec? Oh, wait. I’m a normal person.
