I got a call last night to help teach 3 women to shoot a pistol on Wednesday so they can get their concealed carry permits.
I was then informed that two of them are lesbians who are locally famous now for suing the city for health benefits as a married couple. They've received numerous death threats, etc. Evidently, they were both on the news channels the other night and the ACLU is backing them all the way.
Normally, this is no big deal to me because I'm used to teaching very large groups, and we stay way too busy to get personal with eachother. In this case however, these gals/guys/whatever are paying the big bucks for an exclusive "one on one" type of class. My partner says one of the gals is straight - maybe if I put more energy there???
I simply said to my training partner, "Well this ain't about being gay, this is about shooting. I'm simply not going to discuss "gay issues" at the range with them. In fact, I'm hoping to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.
He replied, well good luck, cuz these women are ALL ABOUT how gay they are.
Good grief!
I'm sticking to my plan - no personal discussions. No sex life crap. No nothing - just teach the fundamentals.
