    Some of you may remember my post a while back about my wife's issues with firearms, well last night she came around... We had a date night and in the planning she mentioned that she would like to go to the range.... my jaw dang near hit the floor. We dropped the kids off at a friends house and proceeded to Shiloh. Jeff, Ngoc and Tracey were great. My wife shot my "arsenal" as she calls it and discovered that it is not nearly as bad as she thought. It was a busy night at the range, and my wife was surprised to notice the demographic in attendance (or lack there of) even remarking "Those women are carrying in their yoga bags???" She is beginning to realize that we are (with the exception of Jeff) normal Joes and Janes... Tomorrow I even get to go buy her a S&W M&P compact.... What a great weekend.........

    Edit: Just to be clear, Jeff, my wife actually liked you and thought you seemed like a great guy!

    That's great to hear DirtyD! One word of caution, watch your guns. The next thing you know she'll decide she likes yours better and wants it/them. My wife is currently threatening to relieve me of my Sig P229 and she hasn't even shot it yet! It's great to be able to share the fun with your wife.

    Great news, glad to hear she did and really enjoyed it. I think my wife was suprised how much she likes shooting, still unsure of how much she wants to carry, but she recommends range time more than me now.. hehe.

    I'd rather be caught at a strip club then at the range without my wife.She is really into shooting now.Now we have to support two gun habits.

    Awesome! I won't even ask what took so long!

    You're in trouble, but it's the good kind of trouble. Your next purchase may be:

    Thanks guys. I would much rather be abnormal than normal, the sheep instead of a sheeple, if I may say. My gruff exterior and raging testosterone for all things guns and ammo must make for a great 1st impression on the wife.

    It most certainly did, you actually are one of her favorite "husband friends" based only off of the few minutes she spent talking to you. That is truly an accomplishment! Besides, she seems to like me, and I am about as testosterone fuled as they come, so how could she not like you?

    Get your wife and Kymberly together. She'll adopt a whole new perspective on guns. It might not be the one you want her to have, but she won't be afraid of guns, either. You might find yourself targeted as a VCA! Women are funny that way.
