Date Night and Guns

Date Night and a gun

Sealed Mindset, a personal safety and family security firm based in Minnesota, has discovered a completely untapped niche: date night and a gun.

What’s the typical date like?

On a typical Date Night, which costs $125 per person, four to eight couples enjoy a gourmet dinner while Larry’s team talks about the fundamentals of personal and family safety. From there the experience is hands-on as participants are taught, using laser guns, the fundamentals of shooting. (Over 80 percent of their firearms classes are conducted in a classroom setting with realistic tools instead of the high stress environment of a shooting range: Stress is the arch-enemy of learning.)

Couples then go to the shooting range where they compete in a live-fire competition using real guns and ammunition.

Afterwards they have dessert and talk about the experience, a discussion that often involves the wives gloating about having out-shot the men: Typically people who are the most intimidated by or unfamiliar with firearms wind up shooting the best, and almost universally the wives pay closer attention to the training both because they have fewer preconceptions and are more willing to be taught what is, generally speaking, considered to be a more “manly” pursuit. (Hey, I’m from the south, so I can say that.)
