Firearms and You #1 (Monday Period 1)

The Danger Shop was set up like an outdoor target range. Off to the side was a table set up with the sign-in sheet, several handouts, and an urn of coffee.

"Good morning," John greeted the class. "Welcome to Firearms and You. What you should come away from this workshop with is the knowledge of how to take care of and fire various types of guns and the confidence to know when, and more importantly when not to use them.

"You've picked up two handouts; the first one is a general overview of firearms, the history and different types, a number of which you'll have a chance to try out in this class. The second is about gun safety. I expect you all to read it and follow the rules it lists. Not doing so will have consequences ranging from detention to being asked to leave the range for the rest of that class -- or longer for repeated violations." John paused and looked around, trying to figure out which would be the ones most tempted to break the rules. "We're not dealing with toys here and I expect you all to treat the guns as the weapons they are.

"Now for this first session, I'd like to get to know you and what experience you already have. So we're going to go around and have each person give their name and, if you feel capable, step up to the range and demonstrate what you can do. The computer will provide whatever weapon you ask for." He paused. "'I don't have experience' is a perfectly acceptable response."

John looked around and smiled. "So who is going first?"

"I'm Jo Harvelle," Jo said. "I know how to use most kinds of rifles, and shotguns, and a decent range of handguns. I'm a pretty fair shot with them too."

"I'm called Andros," Andros said, "I'm mostly experienced with an Auto Blaster, which I need to be familiar with as part of my training. I'm not actually familiar with any Terran firearms though,"

"I'm Chris Halliwell," Chris said. "And my experience with firearms is limited to what I learned in your class last semester and a couple of sessions with Parker at Gun Club, so I'm pretty much a beginner."

"I'm Wyatt Halliwell," Wyatt said. "I don't have much experience with firearms other than what we learned in Hunting 101."

Wyatt felt more comfortable with a sword in his hand instead of a gun, but he'd seen how useful they could be in Hunting 101, so he paid attention to the class.

"I'm Tannim," Tannim said. "Ditto what Wyatt said. Pretty much everything I know about guns I learned in Hunting 101."

"Hi, I'm Lana Lang. I know a good deal about gun safety, but have only fired a gun once under very controlled conditions as part of a forensics test."

Luke smiled. "I'm Luke Skywalker and I practically grew up with a blaster rifle back home," he said, "since the Tusken Raiders don't take 'no thanks' as a valid choice. I've seen a lot of the weapons of the planet out at the gun range but I haven't had a chance to try out most of them."

Luke walked a little nervously up to the range. "Um, blaster, please," he asked the air. It materialized next to him.

He held it in his hands with the ease of long experience and fired three bulls-eyes at the target, then gave John a worried smile. "Like that," he said.
