Yes, it's great. It's even better because his wife is a nogun lib.

I just want to lick her tears away when he buys his first AR.

He's just excited about his new hobby. Best bud and I have been shooting together since we were 14 and his ex-SF dad went full "am I being detained" after Obama got elected. What have you done this year to help improve the black community that's not going anywhere in this country?

My father is considering an air rifle to dispose of a woodpecker that keeps going after the house. He has been trying fake owls, but since I started shooting again he realized "I could just shoot the little sob". Its a suburban area, so .22 LR is not safe and a .410 is too loud. Air rifle would be ideal, and he could practice in the backyard.

This is something all /k/omrades should be doing. I've introduced 4 new shooters to the local range in the last two months. Every one of them is looking forward to the next range day and contemplating their first firearm purchase. We need mindful /k/onverts. Shooting is our religion.

yes, my brother and father

we go shoot some guns every now and then
shit is fun

So far I've gotten 3 people into it. One long time friend, who is still waiting for his CC permit ( Takes 6+ months in the People's Republic of Connecticut). Then two girls I know who fell in love with .22, but don't plan on getting any funs soon.

>brother is long on the fence about guns
>heard that someone told him it's weird how Americans aren't required to lock up their guns
>he responded with how in America you buy a gun as an insurance policy, because it's more reliable to have a gun then call the police
It's not a lot, but it's nice to hear that come from him.

Indeed, my wife before we married.

She was born in Rhode Island to an anti gun family. She knew that I owned firearms and knew I am responsible with them. A few months into dating I talked her into shooting my AK-74 at a range in Banks County, Georgia (Wilson Shoals fellow Georgian /k/ommandos). I loaded in a 30 rounder and she went through the magazine in about a minute. She shot really well to boot which surprised me for someone who had never handled or shot a gun before. Two months pass after that and she asked if I could let her shoot a handgun. I agreed and let her shoot my Ruger Standard. After that I let her shoot my Makarov. Again she enjoyed and shot fairly well. After that day she told me she's saving up to buy a rifle. I think a Ruger 10/22, not certain howevet. Theee years later I popped the question and she said yes. We got married a month later and here i am now.

3 people for sure. And I suspect that I've expanded the horizons of other gun owners around here.
I have gotten 2 friends hooked and buying aks etc, and gotten the GF buying 762x39/54r ammo and wanting to shoot more often than I do. She gets a bit pouty if it's been too long, but that's an ok problem to have. She mostly sticks to pellet rifles though, so we shoot rimfire spinners together.

No, instead I lost most of my friends taking up this hobby. Thankfully my family understands it and hasn't disowned me. Europe is a hoot. I pray to God for a nuclear fire pyre to engulf all of this continent to preserve under a sheet of Trinitite what little pride we have left.

Those people were really not your friends anyways. Keep doing what you do.

Thank you. It's absurd, in American terms I'm barely armed, a .22LR bolt action and pistol. I wanted to expand my inventory and get a Ruger 10/22 but I was told bluntly there's very little chance of receiving a permit for semiautomatic long guns anymore. And plinking is strictly forbidden, anywhere, my neighbors might just as well be NKVD agents.

So, dear Americans, when you go out to your backyard for a cold one and some recreational hole-punching, please enjoy it to the fullest.

>>33334527
my girlfriend. when a girl really likes you, she doesn't care what your hobbies are. the bug is slowly spreading throughout her libtard family, it's pretty cool.

>>33334527
Yes. They became a range buddy and started buying all kinds of guns, built their own AR, bought a glock 19 and 43 which they carry in winter/summer everyday.

Best of luck anon, we're all cheering you on from across the pond.

Well I probably got one of my friends interested in guns, well mostly because he was the only person I would talk to about guns and /k/
And that was only because he browsed /mu/ and /wg/
And then there's my qt, but she only thinks its cool that i shoot
She has yet to show any interest in guns other than that

I will take them both shooting next year when I can legally buy pistol ammunition and own my own gun
