That was my interest as well. I never liked the idea of hunting or using guns for self defense. I grew up target shooting, and it was great because it was a sport that a weak asthmatic kid with a flimsy ribcage could take part in. I don't really do it anymore because I got tired of being around other shooters and I don't really want to support the industry, but I miss it sometimes.

    I'm lucky that we have a lot of BLM land about 20-30 min away that is open to target shooting. It's also a great for stress relief. The last thing I'd want is to be in a situation where I'd have to take someone else's life, but if people in my vicinity are armed, you're damn right I'm going to be armed.
