Comments on: I’m In! http://www.pagunblog.com/2007/05/09/im-in/ The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State ...

I live up in the mountains, on the Scotia Ridge, and the <a href="http://www.pgc.state.pa.us/pgc/game/maps/zoom_maps.asp?sgl=176&rgn=Northcentral" rel="nofollow">Scotia Range is less than two miles away</a>. I wish there were a private range here; Scotia is falling apart, full of brass and empty ammo boxes and trash. We're organizing a group to go out and clean it up, but it's pretty sad.

I will write a post or two addressing new shooters. Busy day at work today, so it might have to wait until evening. Thank you for the kind words. I will write a post or two addressing new shooters.

I started reading this past week, and agree with most of your postings; glad to see there are reasonable people in this state with regard to the RTKBA. One request, if I may: how about a post (or links) for first time shooters? Yes, there are tons of stuff one can find via a web search, but it would be helpful to have a little guidance in separating the wheat from the chafe. Though I'm a big advocate of protecting our rights/liberties as US citizens, my only experience with guns outside of paintball has been firing a shotgun a couple times. Now that I'm done with grad school, I've got some free time. Do I just call up a shooting range and say, 'hey, I want to shoot guns,' and expect to learn everything I need to know, or is there unspoken etiquette? What are typical costs? Help the rest of us looking for a way in! I don't personally care about hunting or sport shooting (though I have nothing against either), I'm only interested in becoming knowledgeable, skilled and able to defend myself as I feel is my duty as a citizen. So I don't know what 'camp' I would fall under, but I don't think it really matters in the end. Anyway, keep up the good work, especially the updates on laws and local/state politics in PA--it's a much needed resource. And damn you straight to hell the day you give up posting! Congratulations.
