She is a Christian. She is Pro-America. She is Pro-Life. She is Pro Law and Order.
And the best part, after a lot cajoling, last night she started the NRA Basic Pistol Course. When she left for the course she was a bit grumpy, not convinced why she needed the training. BUT when she returned home she was enthusiastically rattling off what she learned and even dropped the hint she would like a pistol for Christmas. And she hasn't even fired yet! That comes Saturday.
The course I recommended for her is hosted by the local Police Department, offered to women only at no cost. The lead instructor is a detective with 20 years on the force and the 2 co-instructors are women officers.
Sorry for the vanity, just needed to share!
LOL now going all NRA she is also irredeemable.
Good for her, and you!
Big mistake! By next April she’ll need a big 357 S&W along with a concealed piece and all of the accouterments.
Some Great Revolvers out there.
Mrs Gamecock is leaning towards a revolver. She is not a fan of a semi automatics for some reason.
She is a vet but hasn’t touched a pistol since ETSing way back in 1994, so she rightly though she should go to NRA course before even considering a CWP.
Awesome! Which PD is offering free pistol classes to women? Smart thinking.
*applause*
Is she a deplorable or a bitter clinger, or both?
Ruger Match Champion is Great,with
.38 ammo it’s a very controllable weapon.
Is she taking the NRA’s personal protection class for women? I’ve taken that one, the cost was nominal, the course was priceless. Loved it!
I showed up with no gun experience and a brand new .45 Mega Star. My instructors didn’t tell me until months later on the range that that was a lot of gun for a girl. They didn’t want to plant the idea in my head that I couldn’t handle it.
Loved that gun. Very dependable. The weight soaked up a lot of the recoil.
She is perfectly deplorable. Next thing you know she’ll pick out a pink gun, just as my wife did. After a local woman with a flat tire was raped on the side of the road by the “Good Samaritan” who stopped to help, my wife finally took the initiative to get her carry permit and select a pistol. I’m glad yours is getting the training.
Good for your wife. She has come to realize that individuals need to be responsible for their own safety when/if there are no others around to assist her. If she is the kind I believe her to be, she will do well.
Have her start looking at concealed carry purses. That will get her going even more.
Women are more comfortable with revolvers. They are simpler to operate, less to go wrong.
Now if we could just get South Carolina to stop elect Cheap Labor Express stooges.
Cool!
Congrats! Just the other day my wife told me, that when I am recovered from my prostate surgery, she expects me to take her out shooting because it’s been a while.
Your thread has me triggered.
