Reply to comment by [deleted] in Fitzgerald offers county police support to help address Downtown Pittsburgh safety concerns by Jumpy-Natural4868

As critical of the nationwide culture of policing that I am, I have to agree with you. PPD has come forward leaps and bounds from where they were in the "task force" era.

While officers such as Amel that were allowed to continue being shitbags speaks to how far they still have to go, I'm not going to allow perfection to get in the way of huge progress. The surrounding boroughs on the other hand still seem to have a lot of the sturmgewehr "punisher" types.

This is true, however if you already have the necessary license or permit (which I’m assuming the OC does), you are allowed to bring one guest so OP shouldn’t “need” one.

However, a range permit only costs $31.97 for a year per the Game Commission website and that money supports local wildlife and habitat conservation so you’re not wasting your money if you get one anyways. Hunting licenses are a little cheaper but require the completion of an online hunter safety course. More info about PA State Game Lands Range use can be found here.

My husband and I are also south hills leftists trying to learn how to shoot, preferably by/with people who aren't outwardly reactionary. As the black sheep from a *very* right wing family, I know how these people think. I can differentiate between conservatives who respectfully disagree with me, and legitimately terrifying chuds who want to blast trans people into space and beat up "antifa commies". It is completely understandable that someone wouldn't want to share range space with the latter. It is also either naive or disingenuous to claim "not talking politics" will deter their hostility.
