I have never understood the fascination with guns--although I think I'm starting to get it maybe. My friend Chase took me shooting Thursday night--I went more because I was drug along. I was lectured on the importance of guns. Did you know that they are so important that our forefathers protected our right to have arms in the constitution? This alone is a good enough reason for us to be armed and protected.
In all reality though--I come from a family with no guns--we never had a strong stance for or against. I've shot guns before in college with FHE brothers who took us to their farms to shoot rifles. It was fun, but the thought of using guns for protection scares me. I think in the moment of intensity--I will probably just calmly stand by and forget all about the gun...
But, I see Chase's point. Guns can protect us and having knowledge of how to use them is valuable. Plus--in this pic, I look kind of cute holding that gun--he's lucky he caught me smiling...I think I had grimaced right before that shot...good thing he can make me laugh!In all--I shot 4 bullets and I did hit the target we were shooting. Chase said he was proud of me because I was willing to give it a try and I didn't do too bad.
Go guns.....?!? I'm still not certain of my stand and the ringing in my ear hasn't been fun today. But, it was kind of an adrenaline rush...I did tell him I would be willing to look into the concealed weapons class with him...we'll see....I did hit the bottle--so maybe I have potential to be good...
This may have to be continued.....

That looks like a lot of fun! I grew up with lots of guns in the home, of course they were locked up though. I went a couple of years ago with my dad and brothers and had a lot of fun, I wasn't expecting that!
