“I’m not trying to turn them into me. There are some of us who have adopted this as our lifestyle, this is what we do for recreation, as a part time occupation, and partly as our identity. It’s not fair to expect our students to become that. Most of them just want to be safe, get some knowledge, and understand everything that is involved with owning a firearm, and potentially having to use it.” – Rick Remington
