When I arrive at my appointed time there are two guys from Texas there finishing up a transaction. I could tell by the way they were dressed that they lived in a different neighborhood than me. They purchased two English guns valued at $50k & $65k. After paying for the guns they asked the owner if he would take them outside and teach them how to shoot them. There are all sorts of people in this world and I suppose a business willing to cater to all.
Yep, exactly, but are you sure they were from Texas. I haven't met anyone yet from Texas that didn't know how to shoot a gun. Maybe they were from Oklahoma, or better yet Missouri.

I think the more appropriate response would be " you hadn't met anyone from Texas that would ADMIT they didn't know how to shoot a gun" .

I've shot Skeet with several over the years that were rather decent . They usually had an All American pin of some sort on their cap or shell bag .
