Against owning a gun... - Page 12

Rachel ,
The best advice I could give you or anyone in this situation , trying to turn someone into beliving in you having a gun , is to take them to the range after you buy your gun .

You have obviously been approching things the right way learning and studying , matbe you should even take a saftey course ?

After you get your gun take Mom and Sis out to the range , show them how serious you are , teach them some of what you have learned about the saftey of owning a gun , and best of all teach them to shoot your gun , Maybe just maybe you will turn one or bothe into a new shooting buddy .

My wife HATED guns she seen some of my collection when we started dating , she wouldnt even look at one , she had a good personal reason for hating them ( different long story )

After we got serious with each other she seen how i was about my guns and she excepted it .

Seeing how excited i was when i got my AR-15 and seeing my Inner child when i was going to the range to shoot it , she decided to go with me even though she didn;t really like guns .

After shooting it for the first time seeing how much i enjoyed it , she decided it to give the AR a try .

Now some 10 years later she has a pretty nice collection of her own guns .

She CC everywhere she goes just as i do , she will aslo try to shoot any gun made and loves doing it .

She has even shot a friend of mines .50 BMG rifle .

Good luck
I think your hubby is a luck man You are awsome the way you are approaching this

If money is an issue ask Dave to show the Makarov's or CZ-82's I forget which one. They are really inexpensive and reliable.

Your kinda thin for the G-17 to ccw unless you have a baggy top on, but as you know its a great gun.

You ever get a shotty?

I will. Thank you, Jeff.
I know I'm thin for that gun....but dang it....I like it!

I've almost gotten a shotty! lol! My Uncle is deciding weather or not to sell it to me. I think I'd get it quicker if I just went out and bought one.

I'm thinking about going out to Dave's tomorrow evening. Pretty excited about it.

This was going to be my advice. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned until page 12. Take them to the range once you have practiced several times with your husband and feel comfortable yourself. Then show them how fun it is and how responsible you are. You may make a believer out of them yet.

Thank you RachelMarie for sharing your experience. The subsequent post with the link to Gun Facts led me to very interesting discussion with my wife on gun control and 2nd Amendment.

It's official. I am a gun owner!

Went to see Dave at 21st Century Firearms. Awesome store....awesome people. Walked out with a Model 59 Makarov in it's original box. Also picked up a safe, cleaning kit and some ammo. Now, I'm waiting for my ccw to get here so I can shoot this bad boy! I'm uber excited. Came home, took the gun apart, cleaned it (and played with it). I couldn't be happier!

Props to the guys out in Bluffton at 21st Century Firearms! Awesome group of guys. I think Dave was just as excited as I was/am!

I will for sure be going back to this shop. Can't wait!

pictures coming soon!

Good job, good choice.

You can dry fire practice, your trigger control will improve.
