My wife said she needs me to take her to the range! Help please!

[mettle]

Here words were "Well, if you aren't home and someone comes in, I need to be able to use one of 'those' guns. I guess when we get back (on vacation in FL. right now) you need to take me to Martinsville and show me how".

I was driving, swerved all over the road and struggled to focus on it! woohoo!

Now I'm ready to head home and take her to the range, time to get the 'wheels in motion'!

I was first going to explain safety, 4 steps. Then I was going to explain how all pistols have basics features of operation and what to look for in identifying/clarifying a loaded/non-loaded pistol or not.

I was thinking a Ruger 22/45 and a G19. I had thought of starting her on the Ruger just to break her into the noise and violent event. Since I have 2 19's, I really had thought, depending on her disposition after the range, that one could be the 'home' gun where she and I both know where it is for use.

Any suggestions? Thoughs? She would be VERY turned off by showing a gay video of worthless fags crying over an AR.

Real suggestions, personal experiences and successful ideas would be great.
