WNDU Story on Safe Gun Handling

[db1959]

I just saw a commercial on Channel 16,WNDU that they are going to be airing a segment on gun handling tonight at just before 6 EST. During the preview I saw a Kodiak Range sign. I searched the WNDU site but couldn't find anything about the segment.

something like this can be good for gun owners on a whole or VERY VERY bad. It all depends on how they depict gun owners. Are they making us out to look like nut jobs and unsafe crazy people? Or are they making us look like people exercising our rights and really just normal people? either way its probly worth a watch.

It should be a very positive story. The female reporter took the womens defensive handgun class that Norm Hood runs at Kodiak. My wife was in this class with the reporter and said she was saying nothing but positive things to her and the other participants. I've got a feeling there will be no typical media "gun bashing" going on in this piece. We will see tonight.

Will do!

I hope they do a possitive story and I hope I remember to watch it.

Gabby Gonzales (report for newscenter 16 WNDU) took the Intro to Level I all women's defensive handgun course. I DID NOT have to twist her arm to do the story. She was very excited. Did a lot of interviews. Although you never know how the producers will edit the story I will be very surprised if it is negative. Gabby shot her first round ever on the first drill and nailed the target dead center. Later in the week we gave her the target. She said she was going to hang it over her desk at the newsroom so no one would screw with her anymore.
On the first night the photographer came in to shoot some segments. The girsl were still in the class room portion of the class and were not on the range yet. I said do you want to go downstairs and join the class. He said no I want to go shoot. He was an experienced shooter and shot our M&P AR 15-22. He went through 333 rds in a half an hour. He had a blast.
The story was supposed to air a couple of weeks ago but was bumped. It was also supposed to air last night but Gabby let us know it was bumped to tonight because she wanted a longer time slot to air the piece. We are all very anxious and nervous to see what type of story it ends up being.

It sounds like they are trying to show it in a possitive light. Guess we'll have to wait to see.

Zimm, did you tell her about INGO?

Gun class helps women gain confidence in self defense

I can watch WNDU at my patients house...but doubt I'll catch anything.

This was on their main page. Write up seems pretty good, but she doesn't say she enjoyed it

Saw it on WNDU just walked by to get my pizza and bam! There's norm. Congrats on the segment. =)

Was a very short, but good, story. Very positive to the reporter for taking the course!

 

[db1959]

The write up was pretty much the same as the video. I thought it was pretty well done.

The video is on their website http://www.wndu.com/specialfeatures...in_confidence_in_self_defense__140922653.html Look to the top right and below the small video is scrolling list of videos. Its the first video on the page 1.

We can't ask for much more. Very positive.

Excellent job.

After a certain age I call them girls. It works much better. Younger women want to be women, seasoned women want to be called girls! lolololol
