My mom has never shot any gun in her life besides an occasional shotgun.  That all changed today.  I woke up and decided that we were going shooting.  I asked if she wanted to go a few weeks ago and she said yes.  All in all we had a great time together, and she told me she'd love to do it again sometime!!!  She also shot pretty darn well for her first time

Just thought I'd share some pictures with everyone.

Haha, no thanks.
Thanks for letting me know NEVER to post any pics of me and my sister.

She loved it!

IanK -- I'm 17 how old are you man?

Great job! More of us should be taking Mom, or Daughter shooting. We are really gonna need them when the Dems come gun-grabbing. One voice of a Mom is worth a thousand of men.

One of the main reasons I took her is because she got all freaked out when I told her about my future AR.  Now, she sees no problem in it.  And yes, so true that one woman for the cause is like a thousand men!

Congrats on getting here out there and changing her mind about an AR.

My mom used to always say how afraid she was of guns, until I got my rifle.  She has slowly accepted the fact that guns aren't so scary/mean/bad/ugly.  Now I'm pretty sure she is cured of all fear of rifles and shotguns.  She might need some breaking in when I get my first pistol....DAMN MISSOURI PISTOL LAWS!!! (21)

I bought my mom a pistol for her birthday one year. She has always liked guns.

Quoted: Yeah. Let's see more pics of your mom. 'Cause I'm old enough to be your dad. Congrats on getting here out there and changing her mind about an AR.

I agree.  But, I'm closer to Missouri than you are.  I'm willing to relocate too, because then I can get a job at Midway.

"There has been a great disturbance in the Force, as if a million voices cried out and then fell suddenly fapping."

That's sigline material there.  I may have to steal borrow that one when I get a Team Membership

13 would put me in prison...for a long time.

As for your mother...more pics please.

Seriously, good job. Always nice to have another one in the ranks. You need to work on your photography though (I really shouldn't mention that since mine sucks as well ).

What about grandma pix?

Damnit you guys are messed up.


As for photography - I've had the camera for what...5 days now?

It looks like that rifle is a decent shooter. What ammo did you use?

When I was a teen, I hunted a lot. Deer, quail, dove turkey, coyote, cats, ect. My mom was never skittish about guns, but she never really wanted one of her own, until one day when one of her life long friends was sexually assaulted, beaten, and robbed in her home. Mom came to me one day (about 15 years ago) and said she really wanted something to protect herself with at home (she lives alone). She had a little .410 pump her dad gave her in high school to bird uint with, but she said she wanted something "more".

We talked about handguns, but she said she thought she needed a shotgun. She had always admired my bird guns, but we agreed she needed something a little more manageable. She only weighs about 105 lbs. and stands 5'1". She really liked a Rem. 1100 12ga. I had. I won it in a poker game, so it was free to me anyway. But I said, "Mama, that's a whole lot of gun for such a little lady" lol. She just laughed and asked me to have it cut down for her.

So I took it to a gun smith buddy of mine and had the barrel shortened to 18.25", and shortened the stock up about 5" inches and put on a nice 1" recoil pad. It looked kind of funny, but she loved it. I took her out to the ranch to let her fire it and see if she could handle it. I loaded it up w' (5) 2 3/4 copper 000buck magnums. I set up several 5 gal. buckets at about 20 feet, and thought to myself "I just 'effed one one really good bird gun, she's gonna hate it". I was wrong, she LOVED it. She said, "Oh yeah, that's juuust right". I couldn't help laughing. Over the next several years she's talked all of her girl friends at church into getting weapons for home defense. One lady said when she saw Mom's gun, "My husband hunts all the time, and that doesn't look like a bird gun at all". Mama responded, "It's not for birds, it's for men". She calls it her "NO means NO" gun.

I love to hear about women shooting. A woman needs to know how and have the means to defend herself too.

Cool.  Take her shooting more often.
Aren't you the guy that was making the justification with your parents for an AR, if you kept your grades up in school a while back?

Please don't, your semi bald head will ruin the picture.


I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Seriously, good job taking you mom shooting.

You been here how long and still haven't figured that out yet?

  Nice....thats one of the best things you can do as a gunowner
is to teach someone else to shoot.  I've been known to stop
firing at the range when a person is learning to shoot for the first
time so they can concentrate, I usually just pretend to clean my
weapon and watch out of the corner of my eye.

ETA-Those MDC ranges are well maintained. We're lucky to have
them in Missouri.
