The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - A British couple goes shooting for the first time

Theohazard · June 6, 2013, 01:37 AM

Today a British couple on vacation came over to the retail side of our gun shop/range after they finished shooting handguns for the first time. The husband was looking longingly at the AR-15s so I showed a few to him. He said he'd never even held one, let alone shot one. So I grabbed some ammo, my suppressor, and my AR and took them shooting.

The wife was a little scared and only managed one round through the AR, but the husband had a blast! A range employee brought over his SCAR 16 so the husband got to shoot that too. At the end he was talking about maybe moving to the US so he could own guns and the wife was already worrying about how much money he could end up spending on his new hobby.
