She is a friend at works girlfriend. HATES Bush, Loves Michael Moore, though Fahrenheit 911 was great! I thought I was in for a hell of a night.
It went well. She is a small frame woman. I brought a Ruger MK-II 22lr, a Ruger P89 9mm a Ruger GP100 357 Magnum and an AR-15 in 45 ACP.
I started her out with the 22. First mag she was all over the place. But she got better. She fired 3 shots of the 9mm and said she did not like the recoil. She fired 6 very accurate shots of 38 Special and said it was better, but that she still liked the 22 much better. I though for sure I would freak the hell out of her by pulling out the AR…but she just said, “Hey! I have seen those at Quantico”. She fired a couple nicely accurate shots and said her favorite was the 22 followed by the rifle. So I let her shoot the 22 all she wanted and by the end of the evening she was hitting nothing but the 10, 9 and 8 rings of the 8” Shoot n’ See at 7 yards. She even, after asking if it was okay, picked up the MK-II mags and started loading them. I showed her how to load the first bullet and she was fine from there.
The Liberals questions.
Why do people get big powerful guns, what is the purpose or “need”?
This was said after someone was shooting a Desert Eagle 50 next to us, and after I shot some 357 magnum, and she said “is that like my balls are bigger than yours type thing???” I said that she just answered her own question. A lot of big powerful handguns are used for hunting, but others are just plain fun. You don’t need a corvette that can got 120 MPH, but it sure is fun.
The liberals response…….”okay, that makes sense”
Why do people need automatic assault weapons to hunt dear?
I corrected her and said semi-automatic and explained the difference, and said that not many people do use that type of rifle for deer, but those of us that do don’t got out and empty 30 rounds mags at the deer. I have an AR-10, I enjoy the fit and feel of the rifle and I fire one shot just the same as any bolt action shooter. I told here that the vision of people in the woods with AK’s and AR’s emptying mags at deer was a myth. I get looked at strangely with my AR-10. The purpose of the Assault type rifles is that they are accurate, they are fun to shoot and they look neat, none of us are out to mow things down with bullets except paper targets.
The liberals response…….”Oh…okay, than makes sense as well. I see why you like them.”
There were some smaller questions that I won’t bore you with, but she agreed with me with every single gun point I made.
THE REAL KICKER
She is thinking about getting a 22 lr handgun. And she wants me to take her to the range again!!!
Also, when I told her that she could get an AR-15 in 22lr her eyes lit up.
