I read a post recently when a young man was shooting a " HI-POINT C9 " at the range. He was so ridiculed by other shooters that he got rid of the gun. Just because he could only afford the C9 he should of been put down like that is asinine. Any gun owner that treats a fellow gun owner like that is only biting off their nose to spite their face, is a jerk & is doing much more harm to the sport of shooting & gun ownership in general.
We should be encouraging the younger generation to gun ownership. We should all welcome responsible new gun owners (young or old, male or female) with open arms. The more we have in this country the better it is for all of us. To put down or make fun of someone because they're learning to shoot with a $150 handgun just makes no sense to me.
When I was getting back into gun ownership less than a year ago I posted that I wanted to know where locally I could see & maybe buy a C9. Some of the replies I received were downright nasty.
Our country needs more responsible gun owners not less. The more support we give to them the better off we'll all be. As far as I'm concerned there's no reason for gun snobbery, it just doesn't do anyone any good.
Rant off
