clubs here are filled with MAGAs and plastered with Republican propaganda so I don't feel as welcome as I used to.

As a kid, my dad and I occasionally went to the local gun show just to look around at interesting stuff. The collectors selling antiques, fancy custom pieces, and guns with historical interest were always fun to chat with. But at some point it turned into crazy town. I don't go to those events anymore.

    I spend a lot more time watching Forgotten Weapons and C&Rsenal than I do shooting these days. Still get the mechanical bits and history stuff and they don't typically talk political stuff, which is probably good.

    Karl of InRange does get political when I am in the mood for that, and he's a good guest occasionally on Behind the Bastards as well.

    It would be nice if local clubs could be more like that, but at least there are a few avenues left.
