My wife enjoys shooting maybe once a year and for no more than about 50 rounds...but I know she's just doing it to make me happy! (as a husband, there are worse problems to have than this one, for sure)
The other day, my Mom asked her if she would shoot an intruder in our house. Although we've talked about 1) read the situation 2) retreat 3) if pursued, don't hesitate and 4) center-of-mass...her response to Mom was that she'd try to shoot him in the leg. D-O-H.
So, I'd like to take her to a a low- to medium-intensity class. I do *not* want to go "tactical" or commando-style with over-hyped testosterone-driven bubbas discussing their .50 BMG head shot kills back in Desert Storm. There must not be stupidly unnecessary profanity or statements about her attractiveness.
She needs to know -- and practice -- procedures, risks, real-life stories, and time-constrained decision-making as pertains to firearms and BGs. I want a course that discusses law and prudent means to end confrontations. I want her to shoot at least 500 rounds. And the class must be in TX preferably; close to San Antonio.
And all of this needs to happen in an environment that does not threaten her or offend her intelligence. I will plan take the course with her for support and encouragement.
Any ideas? Thanks!
