Handgun for Honey

[Walter45Auto]

A friend of mine is thinking of joining the military, and said she thought one of the hardest parts would be learning to shoot the M16. I told her "That'll probably be the easiest part of boot camp. I can teach you." She said,"Oh, God.... Don't tell me you have one!" I said,"Well, it's an AR15, which is the civilian version. But it's almost exactly the same as the M16."

A brief update on Honey--She passed the "Permit To Carry" class yesterday, shooting my S&W 617 .22 which certainly is not the best fit for her hand but it was the best choice of what I own.  She scored 147 out of 150 in the shooting test!!!   We are both pretty excited about her performance and now we will get serious about finding something that she likes and something that fits her hand.

That's what she said. I think it's just because she's not a "gun person" and she's a little afraid of them (I'm hoping I can change that.). I think she was just surprised that I had "a military rifle." Which she shouldn't have been. She should know me well enough.

OK.  Well, get to work on her (remember .22 first) and bring her to the joys of making little groups of holes in paper .

Also let her know guys think girls with guns are HOT
