I had a friend that had his daughter shooting sporting clays at 13, by 16 she could hang with or beat most of the "old timers". She certainly kicked my butt, by a lot.

Same with my daughter, but it was trap. She could keep right up with the "old timers". Finally went off to college and started a trap club there.

Now she wants to be a Federal Agent.

A daughter to be proud of for sure!

Well, DUH!! Of course we like guns...I grew up in the country on 5 acres of land. I didn't shoot guns when I was little, but I always knew where my dad's pistol was and where he kept the key to the gun cabinet when it was needed. I wasn't afraid of them but had a RESPECT for them. As will our daughter. As most everybody knows, jlottmc and I have a 3 year old and she knows even at her young age what they are, but knows not to mess with them. jlottmc shows her how to shoot her toy gun the we got as a training tool. Once we get into our new rental house in a few months, we'll be getting a safe, but it's not to keep her out because we're not worried about her. We're worried about the other kids she may or may not have over in the future. Course, when our 3 year old KNOWS where and what Cheaper than Dirt and Bullet Trap is, she will be raised to respect guns as well.

I am not as a big of a gun enthusiast as jlottmc but I do like to shoot my own gun and his that he has, and have my own particular ones I would like to get....the SR9C and SR40C. I have shot the SR9c and fell in love with it, but haven't shot the SR40c, but hear it's just as sweet a gun to as the SR9c.

What I don't get is the guns with PINK grips...What's with that. I just don't like them as much as the tried and true BLACK!!! Course that might be that I'm not a girly girl either. I'm a NC Country Girl..

I dont get the pink Harley's gals are riding, or the pink rappelling gear, or the pink anything, including pistols, except to say that - to me at least - it appears that some gals want to make a specific point about them being a gal and doing traditionally "guy" things. I think its silly. Its a show-off thing. I don't need to see pink in order to know that she's a gal !!!

Thanks, a very good read. Its value IMHO goes way beyond the "chick" connection.

From the article...

“[Gun ownership] is a really serious and complex issue, and it deserves serious consideration,” McCrum said.

I agree and wish every [male and female] good citizen of age and able body and mind would give gun ownership "serious consideration".

[jdlott74]

Little black dresses are very "girly". My wife doesn't "get" the pink thing either.

Dresses??? What are those???? This country girl wears pants as much as she can. The last dress I wore I think was to the Marine Corp Ball in 2002. The only two times I wore them before that was 2001 Marine Corp Ball and our 2nd wedding date in October 2001.....

[Bawanna]

Hmmm, when was the last time I wore a dress? I know it was that little chiffon number just can't get a handle on the date. Dietrich, you remember? You were there with the 5 gallon bucket of lubriplate grease. I never did hear what your intentions were.

And she told me she wanted some pink grips for something TBD. Talk about mixed signals.

[jocko]

bawanna does pink grips really well!!!!

[jlottmc]

I know, I was even gonna try to persuade him to do some when we figured out what she wanted. Womens, can't live with them, can't shoot them.

[jdlott74]

And we still may, but it will be way down the road and the right piece for it. I don't want it on everything, just maybe something special.

No persuading necessary. Bawanna is standing by, anything for you princess.
I know Jlott, Death from Afar. I relish it. I'm ready and you know I love you too. Speaking of which did those Corp pin mesquite grips fit your new 1911 you got awhile back, don't recollect I ever heard. Do we have to start over again?

Only natural wood I've found that is pink is Koa. Might be able to find some Pink stabilized stuff like Melissa found. It was real real purty, if your into pink and it wasn't solid pink, I'd of carried em without embarrassment, well maybe a little.

Speaking of Pink, wheres Deitrich. I better run a check on him.

[jlottmc]

Yeah they fit wonderfully, I even drug the camera out, posted pictures even. In fact go back to your grip emporium thread, they're in there. Thanks again. Post 244, the ole lady posted em up.
