"**Geeks With Guns**" ...

... is an off-site event held early on Friday afternoon, just prior to the "official" opening of the 'Con.  It involves going to a nearby range, and consuming copious quantities of ammunition while noisily punching holes in various paper targets for a couple of hours.

More seriously, it is a painless and fun way for newbies to learn the fundamentals of firearms safety, and for them (//and// experienced shooters) to have an opportunity to handle and shoot a variety of guns in the company of other 'Con attendees.  The cost is as low as we can make it, and the fellowship is excellent.  We often have [[http://www.catb.org/~esr/|Eric S. Raymond]] in [[people:ericraymond|attendance]] (who is the [[http://www.catb.org/~esr/geeks-with-guns/|inventor of the event]]).  There are also several other experienced firearms instructors present, and the //unwavering// emphasis is on **safety**.
