Knock me over with a feather!

That story is really familiar. About a week before Obama was inaugurated the 1st time, I was doing something on the computer after Sunday church, and in she comes w/ "that look" on her face. Right away I could see this was serious, and she announced, "I want to own my own pistol, be competitive, go to matches, and I want to shoot good, and be able protect myself if you're not here!"

Serious for sure and for certain so I told her to get her coat, and we'll go shopping. Down to Scheels Sports, and we end up w/ a Ruger semi-auto .22 rimfire, and it's been full throttle ever since. Now she is an NRA certified pistol instructor, and teaches bullseye pistol techniques w/ .22 rimfire and .45 ACP. We have targets all over the house that have the 10 and X rings shot out w/ her .45. She also wanted to reload her own ammo (a surprise to me) so I made room for her in the gun room, got her set-up. Now she loads all her own .45 ACP loads, and cleans all her own guns at age 74. What a joy to me to have her into the shooting sports even though she has no interest in the black powder arena.

This was all a surprise to me, but when the Spirit moves there's no holding these gals back.
