I saw my sister today and she was showing me pictures of her neighbors house. Apparently, some guys got a hit a tree in her neighbors yards and flipped the truck around so hard, it came within inches of hitting their house. She heard the crash and went to the window to look, only to see a couple of black guys fleeing the scene. She called 911 and everything ended up with no one hurt, but kind of freaky.
She's divorced. Got a cat and and dog. I asked her if she had a gun. She said, "why does everyone ask me that?" I wanted to say, "Because screaming and yelling doesn't stop a murderer or rapist dumbass." But it was a family dinner with my daughter, so we kinda let it go. She's not in the best part of town (Waco, hell she's not even in a good town). She used to shoot my 870 when we were younger. She did pretty well with my 1911. I think her ex let her shoot his Ruger 45. So it's not like she doesn't know how to shoot. Any suggestions for telling her to smarten up? |

Let her know that you are concerned for her safety and that purchasing a firearm for protection could save her life. However, she needs to make the decision herself whether or not she could use deadly force against an attacker(s). The NRA has a program called ......"Refuse to be a Victim" Getting her to attend the class or watch the video would be the first step.
The least she could do is learn some hand to hand self defense tactics. If she does decide to purchase a firearm for protection at her home, the next step would be to apply for a concealed carry license. Good luck, and I hope all goes well. |

| Drop her off in a bad part of town at night and toss a pistol out the window as you drive away, I'll bet you 100$ she grabs the gun if she knows whats good for her. J/k I like to back up stuff like that with facts, then take her to the local range for a fun day with guns I'll be you she gets interested. |

I looked up the RTBAV stuff. None in her area. Given her limited experience, she still probably shoots better than half the guys who post on here.
She's 33, divorced about 4 years, got a good job, owns her own house, likes to party a little too much, changes bf's about every 6 months. She's been living on her own terms for a while now. Sadistic as hell sometimes. Don't know what's up. |
