Odd observations from handing out flyers for college campus shooting range (UTRPC)

[MatthewVanitas]

You know... Whenever someone hands me a flyer, they are saying to me..."Here, throw this away for me"

That's the heartwarming part of the job.

Plenty of folks wave me off, get a few feet past me, spin around and say "We have a shooting range on campus? Hell yeah, I'll take a flyer."

I've had multiple students tell me "I never actually wanted a flyer from anyone before, but I want yours."

This is the kind of acceptance you just don't get when you're shilling for Drama Guild or Students United for Fairness and Nice Things.


Oh, and new candidate for second least-receptive group: any of the vegan/animal rights groups.

Eleven Mike: I assume the [G]Handi-Rifle would be chambered in .300 WinMag?

Regardless how hard I scratch my head, I can't figure out the connection.

UT Range?

Man, I don't know why it never occurred to me before that there would be a range at UT. I have lived here for 15 years and since the range closed on Auditorium Shores I have had to go to Oak Knoll or the Austin Rifle Club in Manor! I have a couple three degrees already, but if I sign up for a class (metallurgy or something, I need to brush up) can I join the club? It looks like I can bring my own if I arrange it ahead of time. This would make it easy on the introducing new shooters campaign I have been on. Need volunteer instructors?

If you are getting good feedback from Gay/Lesbian student groups, you might consider putting your campus GLBT organization(s) in touch with Pink Pistols.

It's a Mall Ninja thing...

Yamato: google "Korean store owners = Watts" and see what you come up with...

Strings, you make a good point, however, I'm referring to younger Koreans in their early 20s. There's a large disconnect between older and current generation Asian peoples in general. One might be inclined to believe with North Korea looming over the South that young Koreans would see the need for arming themselves... nope... actually, unbeknownst to most Americans is that South Korean businesses frequently use cheap Northern labor to build common domestic and exported products (such as Hyundai automobiles and no-name-happy-family-dragon-brand electronics). South Koreans can also vacation cheaply in certain areas of the North through, "cultural exchange programs" in other words- Thank you for your money to support the great Leader even though you publicly oppose his policies. Again, the LA Riots situation mainly involved the previous generation of Koreans. It also depends on what aspect of American culture they choose to adopt when moving to the US. Many younger Koreans adopt liberalism because they see it as a free alternative to the somewhat restrictive lives they lead in Korea. Then again, all my Korean friends down here in the South are all Southern-Baptists who think I'm more liberal than them (they are definately pro-gun though), so go figure.
