Firearms and You #1 (Thursday, period 2)

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?"

Charlie ended up snickering through a good portion of Dean's introduction. The idea of a gun as a teddy bear kept re-occurring.

"What?" Dean asked her.

"Nothing. Just-- trying to not to think of you with a warm-and-fuzzy gun. That's all."

"Guns aren't warm and fuzzy," he informed her. "They're just... really cool."

Charlie nodded, not totally convinced. "Really cool. And loud. And kinda scary?" She paused. "Okay, yeah, I can see why that's cool. Sort of."

"You will by the end of the class," Dean promised.
