Title: Proud Pops
Post by: TSB on September 28, 2008, 08:50:30 PM

I went and shot a pin match today and at the end, was able to shoot a set against my daughter.  If not for a misfeed on her first magazine, I think she would have dusted me!  Her first shoot and first time with a gun other than her P22 Walther.  She's jumped to a 9mm Sig P225 and handled it pretty easily.

She appears to be a natural with a bow and a pistol as well.  It was a very good day for dear old Pop.  When we got home, the Chief called and informed me that her LTC is approved and waiting for her at the station..

Great!  Licence to carry and able to shoot well.  That will help you sleep a bit easier!

I guess I've spawned a shooter!

I was at my local "Things that go Bang" Superstore this evening fondling the little SigSauer I've had a hankerin' for.  With a heavy sigh I put it down because I couldn't buy it today.  My mommy (wife) said no toys for a while...

Much to my surprise, my little girl pranced in the door and dropped in my lap, HER new SigSauer P228 in 9 x 19...With pre-ban high-cap magazines!

Add one more law abiding gun owner to the nearly one million others in MA.  Sorry Governor Patrick, your losing the fight!

Thanks Haz!

Yea, gorgeous is an understatement.  Her mother and I knew we were in trouble the day she was born.

Proud is also an understatement!

Tim ;D ;D

I got three sons.  All own a handgun for self-defense, but none are really, "shooters".

HOWEVER, you give me hope Timothy.  I've got a grand daughter (cute as a button, don't cha' know) and since my main job is to spoil her, she's gonna be a shooter!!!  Just watch for her in about 20years at the steel shooting challenge.
