Carlos Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) Seems not to make judgements - just shows photos. Although these are gun owners, it does not seem from the descriptions like very many of them are regular "shooters" - and none of them appear to be competitors except maybe the guy with the AR. Funny how often "protection" is mentioned, yet none of them mention IDPA, training, etc. Here is the http://abcnews.go.com/WN/popup?id=3408842&...ex=1&page=1 on abcnews.com Here is one example: Edited July 26, 2007 by Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapzter Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The photographer, Kyle Cassidy is a shooter himself, which probably explains the tone of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Man Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Funny how often "protection" is mentioned, yet none of them mention IDPA, training, etc. I suppose like car racing among car owners, competitive shooters are a small subset of gun owners. Seemed like they wanted a lot of couples and families. If I'd known they were coming this way, we've got half a dozen IPSC couples that would make for a great dinner party pic That would indeed be an interesting dinner party photo.

dajarrel Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 What a great interview. Although I wasn't surprised at any of the persons or families represented, I was pleasantly surprised by the open-mindedness of the writer. Thanks for the link. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
