Author Topic: A wise decision (Read 205 times)

I grew up around guns, got a 12 guage shotgun for my 12th birthday and hunted with it a lot. By the time my oldest son was 5, I decided it wasn't worth the risk keeping guns in the house so I owned none until recently.

With that bit of history out of the way I will tell ya that I now have a renewed interest in handguns. With encouragement, my wife has now expressed a mild interest in them as well. Since it has been so long ago for me with guns and little experience with handguns I thought it would be best for her to take an introduction course from the local range.

She went last night and sat through an hour and a half of classroom and then an hour and a half of shooting. While shooting, one of the casings flew down her shirt and lodged in the top of her bra. It was hot! She's swinging that gun around everywhere with one hand while trying to get at the hot casing with other.

The wise decision part? I didn't try to teach her.

Any pictures of the incident you want to post? Any burns pics you want us to evaluate?

Hehe, she's as old as me and I'm an old fart.

Ohhhh man! That may be true and all but you better hope she doesn't read this BBS.

You think I'd post half the stuff I do here if she even knew how to find this board?

I you for taking the right approach to become a responsible handgun owner.

Looks like you've learned something else too; proper attire is a must.
