livingsocial.com is one of those sites where you can sign up to hear about deals on stuff to do in your area, and this morning they sent MandaFern a notice for a deal on a "45-Minute Handgun Experience" through the Gander Mountain Academy for $20.

We all love summer blockbusters big on explosions, high-speed car chases, and plenty of heart-pumping gunfire, but today's deal from Gander Mountain Academy in Madison puts all that thrill and excitement into the hands of even the most novice shooter. For just $20, take aim at the 45-minute Ultimate Academy Experience class (regularly $40). You'll get gun rental and ammunition; one-on-one interaction and training from a certified, skilled instructor; access to the virtual firing range and two defensive target simulators; and ten minutes to shoot a Glock 9mm on a live range. Learn important facts about gun safety and how to protect your loved ones from danger in this fun and informative course. At 50% off, you'll be able to sharpen those sharpshooter skills for less than the cost of a night at the movies.

I'm not fully sold on the whole "action movie" twist, but it's pretty cool to see a place that normally has deals on golf courses and sushi bars to be offering this.
