Cheers all,
Earlier tonight, I'm in the dining room playing on the "pute", she's watching "Ghost Whisperer" on the box.
I'm really not paying attention to the TV, but all of a sudden, I hear out of that room: "Christ, get her a GUN and teach her to use it!" Now this is from a woman who, 20 years ago, didn't even consider a "gun" in her arsenal(sp?) for self defense! She prefered fists or a knife. "Guns" were for "city folk" - she didn't need one!
We're both "Southern" - by birth and raising - so guns were in our everyday life - -usually a .22 rifle or a .410 shotgun, nuthin' else. Survival.
We're about to celebrate our 25th anniversary (silver - does any body here cast silver?). It's taken me about all these years to make her paraonid enough to realize that her life is worth the takeing someone else's if it keeps her alive.
We're in a motel years ago, there is a "disturbance" in the hall - I'm off the bed in a flash, gun in hand - suddenly I hear a "semi" cycle forward into battery, look back - she's at "high port" and I'm still trying to figure out what's happening outside. I'm "slide open", full mag - just waiting - she's "cocked and locked". "No time to waste". That was her response.
I fly over to the mainland with "two to declare", she does the same thing 4 months later. One TSA person asked her if she knew what she was doing with "those weapons" - her response was " tell you, or show you?"
God, I love this "old blonde"!!!
