Still, I was impressed the seemed to open up a little bit by the end. IIRC, she was from Brookline MA? If so, she won't have much chance to continue her exposure to law abiding citizens with firearms. My concern with the show was that I thought it portrayed the man & his son as not very well off financially with his son not particularly interested in higher learning. I think this might be interpreted as 'uneducated redneck' on the coasts.

Granted, she did come a long way on the show. She admitted that when it started, she believed all guns should be banned from private ownership. At the end, she said she still supported gun control, but she admitted that there needed to be protections for the rights of law abiding citizens. I just don't see her taking those extra leaps. I really doubt she's going to get back to the range anytime soon unless someone she knows is a closet gun owner and comes out to her after this experience. I don’t think you’ll have a convert in her.

Brother told me about this, but I missed it. My remarks were that either the gun-unfriendly Hollyweird types would skew it so the gunnie looked like a complete inbred bumpkin (which, it seems, there was some leaning-toward), or that if it was fair, the Brady-girl would finally see what she'd been missing (which also seemed to have come about), and be completely turned around. Bitter notes that Brady-girl says she didn't have fun at the range, yet had a "shit-eating grin", and was proud of her target. It would be very interesting to know just how long it takes before this chick is back at the range, and how long before she has her own gun. It may be premature, but I think we may have another convert---let me be the first to welcome her !! Hmm. Brother told me about this, but I missed it.
