Just a box of shorts
The young lady was not raised around guns.
When the divorce hit, momma got the daughter, moved out of state.
Daddy got hit by drunk driver one night a few years later coming in from work, and this young lady was severely restricted about guns, shooting and everything else.
Seems momma, saw to this, and the private school was indoctrinating the young lady to be like her momma.
She had some of her daddy in her, a bit rebellious, curious, and one to check out matters on her own.
She waited until she was no longer under control of her mom, and went to college out of state.

Two ladies sitting at a kitchen table, with a Remington 514 single shot bolt action rifle, with the bolt on the table.
Rules have been shared, the gun looked at, questions asked and answered.
Lady grabs the Gun and this lady learning about guns says “Hey we need this…the bolt right?
“Yes, that is the bolt, now come on…”
The Zeiss shooting glasses are really neat, so are the pretty ear muffs, one can tell the student is admiring these and thoughts running through her brain.
“Yes those ride high on the brow, for shooting shotguns…”
And explains why all this is important for shotguns to the student
Finally arriving down on the back of the property, the lady says to the student,
“Wear those, I got these to wear”.
Student is flabbergasted to be wearing these really nice shooting glasses and muffs.
Lady Mentor does not seem bothered to be wearing some Aviator shooting glasses and some “plain” muffs with some scratches.
Some .22 ammo in a cigar box is snagged and this one small box catches the student's eyes.
“These are so cute, can I shoot these?”
“Yes you may, remember I showed you how to tell what ammunition a gun takes, and this gun will”.
“Yes…Ok…I see this on the gun” replies the student
Correct basics on shooting a single shot rifle.
Fun factor is high; tin cans are getting knocked off and …
Words cannot describe what this student is feeling.
Time passes and this student gets her very own used .22 rifle.
Pretty big deal, and while she does not get Zeiss shooting glasses, or muffs that nice, she gets some pretty Aviators that ride high on the brow…shotguns are pretty cute and later she wants to do that.
Years go by, and she has more guns, votes different than momma, writes letters, and assists new shooters.
“What got you started shooting?” ladies asked one day
“Just a box of shorts”
After some chuckling and smirks, she explains a bit more about these “shorts”.
