“The real incompetence is on the part of the “men” (again, I use the term loosely) who obviously don’t know jack about teaching someone to shoot.”
Yea, real funny. My ex-girlfriends brother pulled that crap on her. She’s scared to death of guns now. Really great. You want to create some gun-grabber? Just pull some of that crap. A woman or small person properly taught can shoot pretty much anything. In addition to being stupid, it’s also cruel. Where are all the nannies hollering “domestic violence”?
Correct. My wife was seriously (and with good reason) afraid of guns when we met. We started with a pellet gun ... and the understanding that I'm a gentleman.
Her favourite weapon is a particular brand of 12ga semiauto shotgun ... #2 is a .357 revolver.
Treat most people with respect, and the exceed expectations.
