Today has got to be my best day as being a gun owner. I finally broke my girlfriend of her misconceptions of owning guns and especially CCW. We were just shooting the breeze, and I decided to put on the new set of grips I got for my Colt 1911. She had never handled a handgun before, and so she asked if she could. So after I got the new grips on, I field stripped it and showed her how it worked first. Then after re-assembly, I let her grip it (unloaded). She then proceded to sweep me with the barrel, and I then gave her the talk (4 rules). After that everything was cool.
So later on we went to a movie, and then in the car ride home we started talking about my fancy for shooting. I started to let her know some info about why people carry. Then I let her know about the SC ruling about why the police aren't abliged to protect people. Then she started realizing how vulnerable she is when she's out and about by herself. After that little epiphany she said that she definetly wants me to teach her to shoot. I did warn her that there was much more to just learning how to shoot to effectivly protect herself with a hangun, and I think that she might actually take a professional class after I teach her the basics.
I have to say that today was fantastic.
ps- lots of details left out for reading time sake.
