Opinion Matters

Page Nine Delay

Posted by Alan Korwin On August - 3 - 2007

Why the delay on this Page Nine? We were closed for two weeks, I was out of town, I’m working on my next book, it rained, and the dog ate my homework, thanks for your understanding.

Change the world by taking a reporter shooting — NSSF.org reports: Sara Sedlacek, a reporter for Iowa’s West Liberty Index and a self-described liberal “with a cookie-cutter image of what ‘gun-club people’ were like,” recently visited her local gun club in search of a story.

After her first and subsequent visits, she not only tried shooting for the first time, but also learned — a lot — and wrote, “I walked into that gun club with the worst thoughts about the place and I walked out with a completely different opinion. It never hurts to try to learn a little more about the things you don’t like and the people you don’t agree with. You may find out you didn’t know enough about them to have an opinion in the first place.”

Counterintuitive Man says: Invite a reporter to go shooting with you, make a difference.
