While on a recent trip to the range at Badger Guns with my good friend Chuck and his little sister, I personally observed someone refusing to be a victim.

I was waiting in line to pay for range time at Badger Guns (and range) in Milwaukee when a middle-aged woman in front of us inquired about the process for purchasing a gun. The man behind the counter had politely started walking her through the background check, 48 hour waiting period and other details when she blurted out that she had been robbed reported it to the police but she “refused to be a victim again”. They talked through it and then he went into calibers and explained the range time that comes with each gun purchased, etc.

I realize I started a bit of a debate with my last post on purchasing my first handgun, but I wanted to share this as just another example of how responsible gun purchasing and ownership is a positive right. I fully advocate her, or any new gun owners’ participation in safety training and range practice but, each of us must protect our 2nd Amendment rights not just to protect ourselves but, to allow others to do the same.
