Had an interesting experience today at work. I had finished doing the dishes at KFC and had gone to the front when a woman and her male partner pulled along to the drive-thru. She had a dog so I went to say hi.
The first thing I noticed was the manual transmission on her red V6 Eclipse. I mentioned that it was pretty cool and she commented that she often acts like more of a man than a woman. Manual transmission, drives motorcycles, hunts.
"Hunt?" I say
"I gotta Eat" she jokingly says. then adds that she uses a 20 gauge single shot and a muzzle loader (We're in NY).
I commented that it was pretty cool and she goes on to tell me that I should get into guns and that I can never have too many.
I actually found her rather overwhelming at a few points when she began to show off or show braggadocio when she exclaimed that she was not the type anybody would want to "encounter." I followed up with,
"Well I'm encountering you now and we're having a great time."
She said: "Yeah, I know. But seriously, if someone finds themselves in my house they will be looking down the end of a barrel."
The most notable part was when she mentioned her glock. I asked her if she carried a 26 or a 19, she jokingly replied, "I carry a 30, I'm going to punch big holes in people."
She was also a veterinarian.
The whole time the male partner sat in the passenger seat stroking the small dog and nodding along to the conversation.
An interesting lady, and certainly an interesting conversation.
I was just surprised to meet someone more enthusiastic about firearms and cars than a I am!
