Jon, there is another thread I started a long time ago on "what to look for in a gun club". Not sure if it is a "sticky" or not.

- I've been "working on" a bank manager that I'm friendly with to get her to try shooting at one of my clubs. We've talked a few times about it and she said that she's likely to do so when the weather warms up. I "salted" the idea by broadening the invite for her "comfort" . . . her best friend is another branch manager that I also know, so I told her that she could widen the invitation for the both of them or bring her 13 yo Daughter (as long as she'd follow safety instructions). She's a single Mom and the two bankers like to go on long walks in a town known for problems. She already faced off a guy who stalked them as they walked . . . I gave her kudos for the brass balls, but warned her that she should take steps to be able to protect herself for situations where she can't talk her way out of it.

If this works, I might be able to widen it further with other bank employees. Who knows! The bank president is a friend, former neighbor and a gun owner, so I'm not worried about info "leaking" back to him.
