Girls and Guns

[Pete]

I took my girls up to McKellers Rod & Gun Club Range today. They had a great time blasting out the center of their targets with a Marlin 25N in .22 Cal. They went through 100 rds.

They told me they had almost as much fun looking at the young guys two tables down as they did shooting. Oh, Girls, at least it was almost.

Since I heard one of the guys talking about Phase II and there was about 8 of them they may have been in the pipe line somewhere.

After the .22 the girls moved up to the AR15 and liked firing semi auto at a OBL target. After about 50 rounds each it was time to call it a day. On the way home they were asking when they get to go again.

They've saved their targets and are going to show them to all their friends .

Pete, I don't know how old your girls are, but I imagine you are going to scare the living daylights out of their suitors.

We're Lucky men Pete, My daughters both like to shoot and my oldest who just turned 21 asked for a special gift for her 21st B-day... A Glock 26 9mm. She began shooting around 14. Both my daughter are better than me with a handgun. Though they don't hunt I got my son for that. But it is so cool to involve everyone in the tradition of shooting.

I started my children young also. My daughter is now 28 and son is 24. Started both with a BB rifle at five or so. Moved on to .22 pistol and rifle a few years later. Both were shooting my 1911 and highpowered rifles by the time they were 12 or 13.
When my daughter started dating many dates were on the range or deer hunting. Never had any problems with the local boys. I always told them that I didn't worry about my daughter because if they got out of the way, my daughter would shoot their eyes out.
My daughter started dating a city boy in college. The first time I saw him I was cleaning several pistols in hope to shoot some with my daughter and her new friend. He stood in my home and told me he had never even held a gun. He told me that there would never be a gun in his home!
Before I new it he and I stood nose to nose. I told him my daughter would never date a fag like him and I would stomp a mud hole in his a**.
Well guess what, she married him.
They now have me two wonderful grandchildren. They also have several guns in the house. It took me a few years to get him on the range but he is pretty darn good now.
My son has always been a fine shot and shoots regularly with me.
Start them young and teach them right.

Taught my son when he was 10 years old on a little M-6 Scout (.22 Hornet over a .410 gauge). He became pretty good with that rifle/carbine. He then saw "A Bridge Too Far" with me on DVD. He then told me that he liked the rifle the British were using (Mk4 No.1) and asked if there was anyway he could get one. I said we'll see. Christmas comes along and my partner is selling his Long Branch, Mk.4 No.1, with two groove rifling for $100. Guess what, my son recieved it Christmas morning and all he wanted to do is shoot the thing NOW. Now he is 16 and is extremely accurate with it at 100 yards.

I asked him just a few days ago about if the woman he married didn't like guns and refused to have them around the house what would he do? He said "Dad, first off I wouldn't marry that type of girl and secondly, if I did marry a girl who turned against my guns, I'd have to lay down the law and explain to her that it is a package deal!"
