EDC and "the" Rotation

[Dancing Heretik]

Well, just come on in and make yourself comfortable. There is a plethora of knowledge on this forum. Some smart folks with some smart azzez here and there, but a good place to be none the less. So, ask away, or share what you know.

I have nothing to share so far. I've barely started. Yet, I've already collected 3 1/2 guns. The fourth one will be mine soon. In theory, I have an idea of the one more gun that I want. But, first I need to practice, practice, practice.

I feel like an outsider so far. Not only because I kind of am an outsider since I haven't practiced much yet. But, also because I can't handle anything more than a .380, not yet anyway. With practice, my hands and wrists should get stronger.

But, right now I'm not even comfortable practicing alone. I'll only go when someone more experienced can go with me. Above all, I want to practice the right safety habits. Once I'm comfortable about my safety habits, I'll start practicing alone and won't have to wait until someone else can go with me.

Thanks for the welcome!

I'm happy to see that you are interested and anything is better than nothing.
I hope you do get to the point that you carry, one less victim. Welcome!

It's a toss up between being afraid to be in a position to need a gun and being afraid to use a gun. The thought of hurting someone is pretty intense. But, being more in control of my own safety is a wonderful thought.

As soon as I feel comfortably in control and calm in how I handle my Walther, I'll probably start to carry. Having a gun for protection needs a practiced, calm hand.

There are many classes and many that are designed for women. I hope I never have to use a gun against another human being, but I refuse to be a victim, therefore I want at least a fighting chance.

My thoughts are, if every law abiding citizen carried there would be a lot less violent crime, less victims of violent crime and the politicians would fear the wrath of the public.

True, on both. "Babes and Bullets", "A Girl and a Gun" are two off the top. I also believe they have something like those, if not those exactly, in your area. Also check out Cornered Cat. It has a TON of info. specifically for women.

Opened in a new tab to read. But, where/what is TSSR? Is it anywhere near San Antonio?

Absolutely!

"Babes and Bullets" gets me Garfield. "A Girl and a Gun" does have a San Antonio chapter. Thank you!

Cornered Cat, I love it. Thanks.

Depends on what you call close, it's outside of Copperas Cove.

Nope, not close. Well, closer than El Paso.

 

[Byrd666]

IS worth it.

 

[benenglish]

Respectfully disagree. I come over from Houston. Lots of people travel further than that. Everybody brings fun stuff and shares.

Newbies get lots of attention and help...if you define "help" as people shoving guns and ammo at you and asking "Have you ever shot one of these? Would you like to? Here's how you operate it..."

I went to the last and hope, as long as my job doesn't take precedence, to go to the next. Good people, good fun and good conversations, I highly recommend it.



(although most are on my spreadsheet)

Well . . . . Maybe I should read the thread before I decide how far is to far.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see you over there.

You seem to have the right mindset for learning the correct way. Wish ya lived up in DFW I'd go shooting with ya regularly. Just got back today.

Definitely encourage you to come to the get-together. My little girl has gone with me twice now, and even though the one this spring was colder than the depths of outer space she's anxiously awaiting going again in October.

Most definitely!

Let us hope that it's not like spring, I had fun but it was miserable at the same time.

My son lives in Fort Worth. Maybe someday I'll be up there visiting and we can all three go together.
