I LOVE tutoring anti-gun people. If I can trick or coerce them into a session, and I know they are a tough nut to crack, I grab a variety of .22s and all the fun targets I can find.
Fortunately, I live in Arizona, where I can shoot all alone in the desert.
I drive to my favorite spot in the desert.
After my lesson in gun safety, I'll set up balloons (water and air) not too far down range. I also have steel reactive tarkets. Tape a few Ritz crackers to them. maybe some old fruit if I have some.
Once I'm confident in their safety practices, I load up the gun of their choosing. (I do all the hard work, I'm trying to re-inforce the idea of GUNS=FUN.)
In the beginning, I lay off the heavy marksmanship training. 22s are cheap, let them miss a few times.
Then it happens. The first balloon pops, or the first reactive target spins, a cracker is vaporized.
Gotcha! Fun, ain't it? Safe, fun.
Once they start to (sometimes grudgingly) warm up to the idea guns aren't always bad, I have my foot in the door. Remember, these aren't your average person. These are ANTIS.
Once my foot is in the door, it becomes more difficult. Too much information, too much political discussion, will just turn them off. I stay with 22s, but offer them the choice of firing another type of gun IF THEY WANT. There is no way I will let a new shooter (esp. an ANTI) shoot a .44, 10mm, or even a .45 on the first session. No political or 2nd ammendment discussion, unless they initiate it.
But I always make a determined effort to get them to a 2nd session. This can be harder then the first session, because they sometimes think they know it all at this point.
If I can coerce them into a second session, I can complete the transformation from ANTI gun to at the very least neutral. More fun, but with some education slipped in. As fear goes away, curiosity increases.
In EVERY case (so far) I'll get the question "Do you have Glock?" or "I'd like to shoot a 9mm". Once we get there, its the point of no return. I gotcha!
Key points: FUN FUN FUN. If they aren't having fun your job is much more difficult, if not impossible. Be FRIENDLY! Save the diatribe about gun banning leftists for another day! Save the political rant on assault (so called) rifles and hi-caps for the future! Fun, friendly, low pressure. Works like MAGIC. Leave your macho alter-ego at HOME!
