Hello, I have been shooting less than a year. I love the feeling of taking ownership of my personal protection as a single women. I am struggling to find my place in the gun community though. I am a liberal democrat, and often feel like an outsider. I wish there was a way to leave politics out but you all are a pretty political group And of course I understand how politics play a part of gun ownership. By joining I would like to find a way to bridge the gap, help me understand and find points of commonality. I look forward to the discussion and maybe meeting some of you at the range!
