So i didn't know what to Title this.... so i just went with that.

I must have been a very good girl this year, this Christmas my husband bought me a Ipad Mini and a new handgun.... Watch out i my be changing my name to Annie Oakley.....lol

I am from the south and "we" grow up with guns... but this is how it goes..... when you can hold it and shot by yourself... your ready..lol Needless to say i have been around guns my whole life. Hunting and recreational. My mom HATESSSS guns, but my dad & grandpaw always taught us to respect the gun and never touch unless you have a reason.

But i never took a "formal" gun safety training class.

That was until this past Sunday .... That's right, i went Sunday, in the cold and rain to learn how to shot and use my gun safely..... I know you all feel better knowing that. It was a all woman safety and concealed carry class.

That being said...... I was amazing. Made a 100 on my test and was the top girl shooter out of 10... whoop whoop. I am now a 9mm packing mama....lol. Don't piss me off.....lol just kidding

We shot from 25' away.... picture of me... is our last part when we had to pretend we were defending our self. Up close, one handed, other hand up protecting your face and head... then shot two in the pelvic ... step back take your stance and then put three in the chest...

I have to admit i was nervous and was taking the class only to feel more confident with my gun and to know that I can protect myself........ I was not expecting it to be so much fun... i can't wait to go back this weekend and shot with my husband so i can show him what i learned ..... and maybe shot better than him... wink wink.

Yours truly.... Bayou.... Aka Annie Oakley....lol

i know it not right to Glote.... but, i Love it.... really. He bought me a Kel tec Pf9. Black... not pink, although i would have loved a pink one... he said... no....lol

So now i have to send off my cert and paperwork along with my fingerprints and wait the 4-6 months to get it in.... Maybe it wont take that long seeing as though i have been a fine upstanding member of society....

As an Aussie ( ex Brit, ex South African) I will NEVER understand the American obsession with guns.

You are correct, you won't. :lol: Don't worry though, it baffles our neighbors to the north as well. ;)

BTW, no gun should have the shame of being colored pink. It might fail you when you need it, just out of spite :P

terry... you sound like my husband.... :D Thanks for making me laugh..... I would rather have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it....

Just a question: elcee my friend, and yes you are my friend... still... Would you be more inclined to post a sign in your window that says: This house is a gun free house..... Are ... This house is protected by a gun owner? Because it sure would make it easier for the criminals to pick which house the hit....

Rayann... i would highly recommend taking the safety concealed class. the only woman's class i did was wonderful and i was not embarrassed to ask questions.

I had to get a smaller Concealed Weapon when I got Thinner. I went from a Springfield XD 9mm Subcompact to a Micro Desert Eagle 380. No Pink for me so far.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
