"My wife and I know two new members of the gun community, and before this year, I really would not have thought they would even consider firearm ownership let alone enrolling for specific firearms training. They are serious about it though, and I think that part of it is the realization that firearms training/ownership is something that they should have considered long ago. Believe me, if this couple have crossed the Rubicon, then a good percentage of Americans who would never have considered owning a firearm are now doing so."
This is my exact situation. I have been to the range twice with three of my wife's friends. None of them had ever handled a gun before. When they finally got around to asking about buying a gun, I warned them about the lack of ammo. They were surprised - they assumed ammo came with a gun, just like batteries for a flashlight. I told them that they better be ready now (during panic times) to maybe search for ammo. Since I always provide ammo when we shoot they never thought anything of it. Which, actually, is how it should be!
