The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

I sent this article to a recently acquired friend.  He, too, is 6'6" and young, with not much self confidence.  I hope he'll read it and learn to think of his stature as an asset, rather than an obstacle.

In addition, this past Saturday I took him to the range (he was nervous, and nearly talked himself out of going) and introduced him to a few different platforms.  He fell in love with my AR, and my lever action, and did a great job of following instruction with both the rifles and the pistols. 

I told him he was a Rock Star, and that it was high time he started acting like it  :cool2:

Good for you.  So many folks in our society are beat down at an early age and as a result have poor self esteem for the rest of their lives.  You have done this new friend a tremendous service and truly have made a difference in his life.
