It was a surreal experience going to a shooting range with Maricopa County Board of Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox. She was visiting the Joe Foss Shooting Complex in Buckeye to check in on the county-run facility. Toward the end of the tour, several visitors were asked if they wanted to blast a couple rounds off at the range. Wilcox, without hesitation, volunteered and later admitted it was her first time shooting a handgun — though, she has shot rifles before. The reason it was surreal was because Wilcox has a history with firearms, most notably when she was shot by one in 1997 after a board meeting. She recovered and obviously remained in politics. And she's not afraid of guns. It reminded me a lot of President Reagan speaking to the NRA after he survived an assassin's bullet.
Here are some of my images from my day at the range.
