You all have been warned....

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. 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

terry... you sound like my husband.... 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.

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

My dad lives near Mount Airy. Do you know where that is?

oh yeah, that is about 60 min from me (with hub driving)

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

i understand (some have an obsession).

but i have a nice house with nice things inside

some may have an obsession with wanting that.

i intend to make sure those leave me and my home and my family alone. if they get through my dobermans, they meet me or hub next.

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

i may be only 5'1 but i am a packing.
