Found this forum when searching for regional forums.
Been on many other forums over the years under the screen name of "wichaka", so if you see that...its me.
Didn't know where to post about my shooting school on here, and don't want to violate any rules. I sent a msg to the admin...

Just like I said, someone would be arrested and have to deal with the aftermath at their own expense.
Although I support the cause, I'm sure glad it isn't me because I don't have the time nor money to deal with...
Saw this in another forum, thought I would share it here since it is a local compary. I don't usually drink coffee, but I might have to stop by and get some hot chocolate and let the manager know why I'm there.
