Thank you all for the warm welcomes!!Texas10X wrote:Welcome, Little-Lonestar! Glad to have you here!
It's great that you and your boyfriend both like guns and went to class together. Get your paperwork finished... sounds like he's a little ahead of you on that (can't let him beat you!). Friendly competition is a good thing, so hopefully you'll have fun getting to practice together, too. Good luck on getting your mom on-board. Patience is always key, and you'll never know when the seeds you plant will start to grow.
Oh believe me, I'm very competitive haha. He works with our instructors, so they were messing with both of us the whole day, but mostly along the lines of, "Man, she's out shooting you!"
The only reason the paperwork isn't done yet is because if I'm not at school (obviously a no-no carry), I'm at a nursing home (also a no). I don't generally go out with people, or out alone. Still not an excuse, but I'm working on it. It seemed the website was having some issues when I tried it the other night.
We love to practice together. The range officers are familiar with us, and love to tease him about not making me mad haha. As for my mom, she has a nice little 9mm, and we even cleaned it for her. My next step is to take her with us to the range so she can feel good about shooting it.
