We used to go down on a beach with a high bluff in the background and do some target practice when I was a kid. Great memories. So what if you're shooting a gun? It doesn't mean the NRA has their grip in you, and it doesn't mean anything regarding your view of concealed weapons, etc. My Dad used to hunt, but injured his knee badly enough on one trip the doctor told him he probably ought to stop some of that or he'd really mess it up.
Working on college stuff. There will be a lot of that for a while.
