People always respond better when they're actually participating instead of being lectured to. This means, folks, you put 'ern on the range with a gun in their hands and let 'ern shoot! This means your BEST safety people must be involved, and everybody needs to be playing heads-up ball. Before you panic, a couple of months ago in Florida, we put 130 mystery novelists, 99 percent of which had never TOUCHED a gun, through eight firing points with eight different weapons in four-and-a-half hours, with total safety, and a good time was had by all. We did it by following the rules and procedures of the NROI and our own safety training. The WORST thing you can do is not let the media shoot because it's "too dangerous." Wow! What message have you just sent? • Leverage your people! When I was running for USPSA president, I traveled around the country and shot most of the Area matches. Everywhere I went, I met really interesting people with GREAT stories. Journalists LOVE great stories. That's why we became journalists in the first place. Journalists also like to "discover" great stories on their own, so I like to scatter my people with great stories around like...okay, for lack of a better word...bait. I might drop hints or point in a certain direction, but I want to make the journalists work a little, and stories are best told by the people who lived them. Remember, we're diverse; let's show that diversity. • Tell the truth! Raise your right hand and repeat after me: THOU SHALT NOT SPIN! Answer every question truthfully, but don't be afraid to say, "I don't know, but I can find out for you." This includes hard questions. I was asked in an interview right after Columbine how did I, as a shooter and a CCW holder, feel? I said that I wanted to throw up, but I was afraid I would start crying and couldn't stop. Which turned out to be how the interviewer herself felt. • If you get worst-cased, don't go it alone. Every so often, Dan Rather Junior shows up and wants to make his/her bones off you. Usually, you'll have a hint of this in 14 FRONT SIGHT • July/August 2002

Todd Jarrett and Shari Legate (of the Womens Shooting Sports Foundation) help fitness writer Terese Aconian with the finer points of shotgun shooting. advance (especially if you, say, hit the Internet and do some research on who's going to be interviewing you in advance, another basic survival skill in crisis communications). If you get that hint, immediately call USPSA World Command, or e-mail me, and we'll start prepping you in earnest. When IPSC took heat several years back over trying to get into the Olympics, I was among the people vvho prepped the IPSC guys for their interviews, almost all of which were hostile. Our guys never got hurt in a single one of those interviews. Okay, real quickly, ten things NOT to do: 1) Condescend ("We don't expect you journalists types to know anything...") 2) Be sexist ("Well, little lady, this is the most powerful handgun made...") 3) Be unsafe ("Whoops! Sorry I pointed the old blaster at your head...") 4) Play cop ("So I said to the perp...") 5) Lecture ("The Second Amendment clearly states that...") 6) Be macho ("You don't understand how dangerous I really am...") 7) Be a range nazi ("HALT! Stop before you kill us all!") 8) Tell "war stories" ("So Tommy points his racegun at the guy's crotch and says...") 9) Dis other shooting sports ("Those other guys, though, they're real wackos...") 10) Air "dirty laundry" ("Everybody knows the president of USPSA is, well,...") Okay, get out there and media! Michael Bane spends most of his time tvatching Bulb, the Vampire Slayer and attempting to reassemble his H&R .32 Magnum snubbie. His novel ALL NIGHT RADIO is slated for small press release in mid-2003. The heroine of the book is...an IPSC shooter. ••111 416.1 .417A11-1A1E7" PERFORMANCE PRESENTS Jerry Barnhart 1J Tulle US Nattund Champ Burner Grips-New Styles: Replacement grip panels designed to enhance shooting performance, reduce muzzle rise and offer quicker shot-to-shot consistency.
