RE: I Work in a Gun Store. Here's What I Wish People Knew About American Gun Culture
Thank you for your informative post. As an outsider (I'm from the Netherlands) guns just scare me. In fact the first time I ever held/used a gun was in the US when I shot a Beretta in a gun store in Las Vegas. Shooting Bin Laden did feel good though. But nothing compared to the grannies next to me shooting a M16, as an outsider wow that was crazy. (and cool).
I think the American gun culture is what it is 'a culture'. Nothing bad or good about it. Just a culture like most countries have.
In the Netherlands marijuana is readily available in coffee shops and that must be strange for some. Then again we don't have bears trying to kill us :)
Cool photo btw! Pretty badass!

I think a lot of Europeans and other outsiders would be surprised to see all the grannies at the gun ranges here in the US! They are so badass.
