Good Shoot: Time On The Firing Range:

I went to a firing range in South Philadelphia yesterday with my stepson.

We fired the handguns we own, including my Beretta 8000 Cougar (seen in the above photo).

My stepson, a boy I helped raise since he was 10-years-old, is an adult now and it made me proud to see him so proficient in firearms, as well as safety.

I'm military trained and I later passed that training on to my stepson as a boy. I taught him how to shoot and I taught him gun safety.

Today that boy is an adult and a far better shot than I am.

A gun is a defensive weapon in the hands of law-abiding citizens. Like a power saw or lawn mower, a firearm is simply a tool. A tool that can keep you and your family safe and secure.
