Alan Korwin, the Accidental Gun Advocate

• http://www.ozy.com, By Meghan Walsh

Once loaded, I slam the magazine into place with the palm of my hand. I chamber the round and assume the proper position: feet shoulder-width apart, arms in an A-formation, dominant hand gripping the 9 mm pistol. One eye closed, I narrow in on my target. Steady, steady, pop. There's a burst of light and a casing clanks against the cement floor. Bull's-eye, baby.

Granted, the target was only 7 feet away. But as we stand inside the shooting range, it's still a different story when my teacher, one of the country's most infamous gun advocates, takes his turn. Alan Korwin is a mediocre shot. It's a little embarrassing — in fact, you feel bad for the guy. But that doesn't stop him from offering another quick tutorial to a friend.

At 65, Korwin, with his professorial white beard and bushy eyebrows, may not be a familiar face. But you've likely heard his message. He's the man millions of gun owners count on to fight for their right to bear arms. By his own count, he's logged more than a thousand interviews with the press.
