My wife observed a similar story. When she was taking the range portion of her CC class, a young woman was there with her boyfriend and was so scared of the gun she was crying. Thankfully he brought a .22 for her to shoot and by the end of the class she was smiling and talking about how much fun she had.
Another female and gun story.
Long ago, my wife and my 2nd date was to the range. So we’re shooting and all of a sudden a hot 9mm shell bounces off the divider wal and goes down her low cut top. It’s funny now but I felt bad.
So when I took my daughter shooting I told her that story. She wore a tshirt to prevent that. What do you think happened? A shell ricocheted down her shirt too.
Now my daughter hates semi-autos.
