Penguicon 2012 Geeks With Guns
<p>The party for Armed &#038; Dangerous readers is still on for Friday night at Penguicon, and we have a new event &#8211; actually, the return of an old favorite: Geeks with Guns.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s GWG is scheduled for 2:00PM on Friday the 27th; it will take place at the Firing Line range. We will be teaching basic firearms safety, handling, and pistol marksmanship; first-time shooters are welcome.  Experienced shooters are also welcome and may be drafted as range officers and assistant instructors.  Yes, I&#8217;ve done this before, and no, we&#8217;ve never had an injury &#8211; pistol shooting is statistically safer than golf. </p>
<p>Important: please mail guns@penguicon.org with your intention to attend.  We need to give the range advance notice of roughly how many people will be showing.  Two dozen is pretty typical.</p>
<p>Thanks to regular John D. Bell for organizing. John will be passing around the hat for a few bucks each to cover the range fees.  Bring your own weapon if you have one, otherwise you can rent at the range or possibly borrow a friend&#8217;s. Newbs seeking instruction will be expected to buy their own ammunition.</p>
