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.
