An exciting day in a young girl's life...

I congratulate you and your family for doing the right thing.  there is no way to fix the problem by standing by and watching it.

On a side note my 14 y/o daughter has decided that she wants to learn to shoot too.  She has proven herself with a G-17 and 1911 but is getting her own (unless she stops using it, then its her mom's) M&P-9 that she swears to turn pink when she can.

Gander Mountain carries a line of Taurus Millenium's with pink polymer frames. If I had the cash...I'd get one for my girls to shoot.

She saw it but actually shot the M&P.  Went looking for the Julie Goloski version (F/O Warren sights and a pink backstrap) but couldn't find it.  For her 16th bday I'll send it to get the slide durocoated if she uses it.

There was a pink post pic not long ago on this forum, I think the trigger was still original color.......

The Berrien County Sheriff's Dept. which has possession of the Thompsons from the Saint Valentine's Day massacre will occassionally put one of them on display at the local county fair.  I've been told by a member of the Sheriff's department that one of them has been refinished and that one of them was appraised at more than 1 million dollars, but can not be sold. They are still listed as evidence on the books and if removed from the evidence listing, must by law be destroyed.  I believe that quite a number of years ago at least one of them was loaned to the Smithsonian Institue for display for a number of years.  If you go to
www.bcsherriff.org and click on the history link on the left you can read about the Thompsons siezed from Fred "Killer" Burke after he murdered a St. Joseph, MI police officer.  When I was a kid some of the seasoned citizens would talk of Capone showing up in town and that one of his lawyers owned a big house on the river with a tunnel from the house to the boat house that had two of the fastest boats on Lake Michigan.
