Wilkomen!

I find most people who hate guns are similar to people who hate snakes; they've never been properly introduced to them. In both cases, once you learn the 'do's and 'don't's, people then generally begin to have a more positive opinion.

Here's hoping you enjoy shooting and stick with it. And, once again, welcome!
