Yes. Earlier, IPSC was referred to as a hobby, and I don't really see it as a hobby. Most of the people who are shooting in IPSC are fully dedicated. Some spend up to 10 or 15 hours a week. They go to the range weekly. There's a lot of camaraderie, and certainly we all look after each other. I know of instances of divorce in which people volunteer to take the firearms out of the house to make sure there are no complications. There are mental health issues in which people intervene to make sure a person gets looked after. To my knowledge, we've never had any instance of an IPSC shooter in Canada involved in any kind of suicide. Maybe I shouldn't speak to that, but we are a giant family of people who look after each other.
I have friends nationally. If I get stranded in Toronto, I put it on Facebook and I get six offers for a place to stay. If I'm in Vancouver, people take me to dinner. I've been to every province, and it's more of a lifestyle than it is an actual hobby.
