It was mostly alright. I got to shoot a lot of different weapons. Almost bit my tongue in half from clamping down during the bad history lecture about communism. Since this crowd included work colleagues, I don't feel like I can be honest about my politics. Ugh, it was tough not to shut that shit down though!

Ugh, people just can't shut up about politics at the range.

So? They're talking about politics; go ahead.

You might be surprised to find you have comrades. But at the least you don't have to passively listen.

It just wasn't the situation for me to do it. Maybe one or two people would have been open to my point of view, but it could have genuinely put my job at risk.
