My wife (who grew up the daughter of a competition shooter) was ok shooting 22 rifles in the desert but was pretty negative about shooting handguns for years.
Until, I had to go out of town and leave her and the kids alone for a week. Before I left I asked her if she wanted me to leave her a loaded gun, just in case. To my surprise she said yes. I left her my mom's 38 snubnose, told her it was pretty much point and shoot. Made her promise to go shooting with me when I got home.
Best thing I did was schedule her with a qualified instructor who has several guns for her to shoot (and stayed out of his way)
Fast forward a few years and she now has CCW in CA, NV, AZ and OR. She owns three handguns and a shotgun. She has completed several different trainings including two classes at FrontSight.
When I asked her what made her decide to get into shooting she said, "Either I go shooting with you or someone else will"
She has been CCW for about 2 years now and it thrilled she can protect herself and the family.Last edited by 71MUSTY; 07-28-2016, 11:08 AM.Only slaves don't need guns

We already have the only reasonable Gun Control we need, It's called the Second Amendment and it's the government it controls.

Remember this, women like pretty things, so next time get a pretty gun for her.
This may help when she ready once again, & indoor range kind of sucks for new shooters, too frickin loud.
When taking my wife to indoor range, she gets foam plugs followed by nice muffs.
Do an off day on BLM instead, you'll probably both enjoy it much better IMO.Comment

before someone calls another a "****ing moron" over the content of an online message that person should be sure he has read AND understands that content.
clearly, in this case he did not.MAGAComment

welcome to the Ladies Forum, 2761377!
only in OT are people called as you say a "****ing moron", LOL.
here in the Ladies' Forum we tend to appreciate posts in which we do not have to read into someone's post that they are joking....or a wannabe comedian. the OT serves as a venue for that."The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."-- as seen on a t-shirt

Hell, make it romantic. A little shooting, then a picnic, some wine, some blanket time.......

I do agree that drinking booze while shooting is a no-no!
and I do agree that making it a romantic "date" after the range time goes a long way in making the range date a good one.

Brah,
You have to go about this right. First off, you need a sweet ride and to dress nice when you pick her up. Taking some high powered blotter acid first can help with first date nerves.
Then head to a swanky place to eat. Remember, mescaline is a no-go on a first date. Be cool man! The last thing you want is a terrible case of THE FEAR creeping up on you at dinner, then tearing into you like a bull wolverine with rabies on a hapless missionary who has cruelly been dressed by pranksters in a raw bacon speedo.
Remember, the waiter isn't really a strange monitor lizard/human hybrid. Calm that with some single malt, aged in a barrel made from old musket stocks with the skulls of your ancestral enemies tossed in during the peak of the fermentation process. No one drinks hard liquor from the skulls of the slain anymore and it is leading to the downfall of civilization, my bright chap!
But now it's time to fire off some machine guns. Head over to the range just off the Vegas strip and do some damage. That's right, slap down the platinum company credit card on enough ammo to massacre every commie in Angola in the 70's, before cocaine was big business and the American made cars were like great boats of the asphalt seas with automatic transmissions, cigarette lighters that could weld steel, air conditioners that could simultaneously freeze meat and obliterate the upper layers of earth's atmosphere, ashtrays everywhere, and leather made from everything America had smashed its Nixonian boots down upon with authority!
Teach her proper gun handling- machine guns! Hold that trigger down and dump bullets like a bus full of AARP members feeding quarters into slot machines. Remember to be emotive, as women today prefer emotive men. Shout over the sound of that Browning designed implement of belt fed Divine authority, "Take that! You G**D***ed animals! Get some!"
After all of this, there is nothing left to do but swing by a late night diner, the sound of armor piercing munitions still ringing in your ears, bones still vibrating like ballistic tuning forks ringing out the perfect pitch of Beethoven's "Whoop A** in D Major", and have a hearty helping of pie, some grapefruits, and several cups of finely ground black coffee to go along with some amyl nitrate. Then head back to a seriously swanky hotel room and shag like tomorrow was nothing but a nuclear weapon demolition derby, to be followed by a terrible, fear and loathing laden future of fallout, television evangelism, and strange ten foot tall teletubbie statues stitched together from old sofas and import Korean car interiors, set up in bizarre poses at seemingly random points along the distant stretches of post-nuclear American highways.
Glad to be of help. Go get 'em, Tiger.
Sincerely,
The Ghost of Raoul DukeLast edited by Volksgrenadier; 08-02-2016, 1:36 PM.sigpic

the world was a better place with Hunter S. in it, imo.......and that is the most Thompson-like read I've had in a very very long time: than you, Volks!"The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."-- as seen on a t-shirt

Why thank you. I had hoped that you might notice. Besides which, someone had to set this young lad on the right path to dating success. And who better to help, than Hunter S. Thompson?
And yes, I miss him too. What was that he wrote once, "...one of God's strange prototypes, never intended for mass production..." When not worshiping Odin, collecting tomahawks, and generally being rad, I have been known to be found with a martini in a jacuzzi reading The Great Shark Hunt.
I wish he was still with us, here in Calguns OT.sigpic

OMG, Hunter S participating in OT?!
boggles the mind!!!!!!
and LOL, Cal.BAR: admittedly it would not be my first, last or any choice for a romantic picnic....with or without firearm practice."The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."-- as seen on a t-shirt
