If you don’t know me personally, you may be wondering why I’m sending you an email about gun safety. To share a bit of background, I love the outdoors. Living in Belize, it’s no surprise that I take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sights doing activities like diving and fishing. And another outdoor hobby of mine is target shooting.  Last week when I shared a little about my trip to Dallas, one thing I didn’t mention was that after our two-day training, my fellow fund managers and I set aside some time to network…
