    Compliments at the local shooting range

    As a newbie firearms enthusiast, I find I enjoy my few hours at the local range shooting my pistols. Don't go as often as I should, as in once a week. Instead I probably go about every two or three weeks. So far, I'm a decent shot.

    I tend to go by myself in the afternoon. As a female, some guys are willing to talk to me. Some are even willing to let me shoot their pistols and naturally I reciprocate. So far, I've received two compliments. The first put a huge smile on my face that afternoon. I'd just bought my first handgun, and the red-headed range monitor at Chabot said: "You're really handy with that Buck Mark!"

    This evening I got something totally unexpected. The guy who'd let me shoot some of his very nice pistols said: "You're a great-looking woman with some great-looking tits!"

    LOL!

    Gotta start wearing my thick sports bras again and hide those little girls under my t-shirt!

    And some wonder why women(well some women) feel uncomfortable at gunshops and shooting ranges as much as I do in a sewing supplies store,lol.

    Also I find people to like my Buckmark as well.

          Class....It is what this guy is missing. But, on the other hand, he was being honest.

            and i'd be honest about saying that he should shove it up his ... equally classless but equally honest.

                Seriously though, that's pretty sad. I'm glad you took it well. (for his sake)

                    hahaha, seems like he was thinking too loudly when he said "...and great tits..."

                    how did you feel when he said that? flattered or repulsed?

                      Yes, but the people at Joann's or Michael's aren't going to follow up a statement with something equally as classless as that to you. Oh and the sewing shop I go to when my sewing machine needs work is run by a very polite man.

                      That person is just a total jerk.

                        And your answer should have been the same as Teri Hatcher in Soapdish:

                              Yes, we men would like to know if you're still flattered, after you got past the initial indignation.
