When the outside temperature gauge on my vehicle registers 108 degrees as it did here recently, I pay attention.
We Americans are going through a nasty heat wave all over the country. I’ve always preferred outdoor ranges to indoor, but this summer I’m limiting my “gun in the sun” time as best I can. I’ve been a firearms instructor for a long time, and as much as we focus on gun safety, the one thing that has most often caused us to summon an ambulance to the range is heat prostration.
Take advantage of shade and protective garments. Remember electrolytes. Stay hydrated! I urge my students to keep a water bottle or some Gatorade right with their ammo supply, and when they refill their magazines to refill their internal water tank.
Be careful out there…
