Mothers can be like that...my mother wants me to get a better job and be able to take care of myself. Well, as a woman seeing what unarmed women go through, I'm looking into a better job in armed security for the income -- no one's really hiring, I don't care what people keep saying about the economy turning around. With that income, I want to buy more guns -- just for the heck of it
and return to martial arts, this time maybe an Israeli style.
Hopefully, I'll get a full-time Federal job in time. I'm going for the Homeland Defense Certificate program at Curry College -- the only such program in the country and want to continue to take whatever classes, firearm related or not, to make me a stronger candidate. Think she'd be happy for me? Supportive? "You're really serious about this Chinese thing, aren't you?" "Ah, gee Ma -- what gave it away over a ten year period?"
My father has a handgun she doesn't even know about. I have five -- three of which my father is aware of, all five my mother's in the dark about still. Boy will they both be surprised...
You can imagine how she feels seeing me look at guns on the Internet -- I can't even find them in stores near where I work. Talk about a boring lunch break...
