Gun Range and Safety

Living in Florida 17 of my 24 years, and having a father with a military background, guns have always been shown to me more as a way to protect. As broken record as it may sound, guns do NOT kill people, people kill people. Not everyone will agree with this post and my beliefs, and that is alright. Opinions are to be shared, so feel free to drop a comment or two below on your thoughts. I feel like a lot of the shootings that have been going on, could have been avoided or defused if an experienced and responsible firearm carrier was around to stop it. I live in a state where if you have a clean record you are allowed to purchase a fire arm and keep it in your home, or in a secured place in your vehicle. I personally just sent over my paperwork to receive my concealed weapons licenses. I have the right to bare arms if someone is endangering me or my family. I do not take the lives of my loved ones lightly. I will let you all into my gun range trip, and some tips too.

The gun range of my choice in my area, is the Oak Ridge Gun Range. It is best to be a lady and go on a Friday, or fellas even as a date day it is perfect. Ladies shoot for only $5 on Fridays. Regularly it is priced at $13 per shooter, $10 for each additional shooter. On Tuesdays it is seniors (65+) and Military (active and retired) day. You all shoot for only $10. If you do not own your own weapon, you are better off heading over with someone who does. They do not charge for you bringing your fire arm. In the case that you do NOT own one, they will rent one out to you for about $20 plus ammunition. I was fortunate enough to have my friend Angelo come along with me and allowed me to shoot his .45 caliber. We also rented a .38 revolver. I love both pieces, but that .45 has a special place in my heart. Another great deal that they have is when you buy a gun from them you have unlimited range time for 30 days and classes to learn how to use it best. 

Rock was the person who was the assisting us while we signed in and got everything in place. He was extremely knowledgeable of everything and very attentive. Answered all my questions in detail. It is a simple process, fill in some paperwork, give an ID make sure you are not a fugitive and you are GOOD to go. You can even take your younger kids if you feel they are responsible enough to learn about guns and the safety needed to use them. They give you targets which range anywhere from $.30 to $1.75. Major key in a lot of this is understanding that guns are NOT just a game, even though they are fun they still have to be treated with respect and caution. One wrong move from you not being careful may end someones life. You are game in the range minus letting off back to back, you have to at least let half a second pass between each shot. They will give you a guide through if you have never shot before. Even if you have never held a gun before, ask for Rock, he will get you shooting like a pro and onto the next step on how to protect yourself, or just have a new hobby.

In conclusion, I hope this shined a little more light on guns and the importance of knowing how they work if you are around them or plan on using one. Check out my shot though, zoom if needed. I hope you all get to check this place out, and let them know who sent you. Any questions contact me or the number below for more information. Thank you all for the endless support and feedback. May you all continue to be great, and remember to always Love and allow to be loved. Xo
