“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 hand- and long guns in the company of other 'Con attendees. The cost is minimal (in 2013, the range fee will be $10, various arms will be available to borrow, and we will 'pass the hat' to pay for ammo, at $35ish a box), and the company is excellent.
We often have Eric S. Raymond in attendance (who is the inventor of the event).
