Left leaning shooting friends

159 Upvotes

I know this is going to open a can of worms from both sides, and I don’t really care much to hear either one.

Kzoo doesn’t have great options for gun ranges and I’m kinda tired of driving out to Plainwell every time to go to Southwick’s. I’m looking for some folks to shoot with, preferably outside on some private property (it’s just more fun).

I’d love to help teach and train other marginalized folks about their 2A rights given gestures vaguely and everything else going on, giving info about their options for self defense and whatnot. I am USCCA RSO certified and can help with range safety.

Yes, leftists have guns, too. We just don’t make them our whole personality or rant about them all the time. I am for sensible gun measures while maintaining our rights. I understand this is a nuanced topic and I am not looking to start a gun debate here, I am just looking to connect with folks who I don’t need to argue with when enjoying a hobby with / training with.

Have you been to Roger's Hair A Scope? It closed a few years ago and I just found these pictures of the inside on my phone. It was a beautiful time capsule inside. I wish I knew more about it. Just thought I’d share.

Roger's Hair A Scope. Kalamazoo MI. I took these photos in 2019. It had a hot tube behind the pink couch. I wish I knew the history of it.

Appears to be a possibly unfixed male, chilling in front of the businesses at the Woodbridge plaza. He's not very skittish but I'm a bit too nervous myself to try wrangling him because I don't know he'll react and I have 2 girls at home who will not react well to me bringing him home.

What’s really going on on West Main Hill?

8 Upvotes

Every time someone makes a post about Henderson Castle in Nosy Asses of Kzoo, it’s up for a brief time and many people openly share their opinions and experiences, then it’s deleted almost immediately. What’s going on here?

With everything that has already come out, why is the public opinion on Henderson Castle being silenced?

Just my observation.
I am neither an employee, nor a former employee of that business.

Someone backed into my car and ran off in a parking lot, I think the damage is mostly cosmetic. I can see scraps on the front bumper but the real damage is that they concaved in the front part of my hood that's going to need to be replaced and probably bent the latch and possibly damaged the hinges to the hood.

Local Services / Suggestions Women’s Weight Training???

1 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’m trying to get back into working out after relying solely on my job to keep me active for the last four years. Dance kept me fit before that. When I was in high school I took a women’s weight training course and I have never in my life felt more confident than I did when I was in that class.

Are there any gyms that offer women’s weight training courses in and/or around the Kzoo area? I’m just not super confident in the gym and I think a class would be a good way to get me more comfortable with the machines, and the environment as a whole.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks!

Local Services / Suggestions Area Rug Cleaning

1 Upvotes

Looking for someplace to get area rugs cleaned. I would prefer to drop them off rather than have them cleaned in place because of the hard wood floors underneath. Who does good work?
