So she has generally had a lot of apprehension with firearms. She has never given me ANY grief on my collection but has not gotten near them herself.
A day ago she asks me if I would mind her going to a CCW class and getting her permit. Completely out of the blue. The big thing is she still has apprehension on firearms but she is sucking it up, and facing it head on. So I tried not to get too excited, signed her up for the class, and we went shopping for a 9mm. Had a bud who is also a very pro 2A guy. Told him I needed someone to come sit with the kids (we have 4 so this is a HUGE thing to ask) so we could go to the store, he was there in 5 mins. Gotta love that.
Anyway, so we got to the store, she tried out the feel of a few of them. We settled on a Keltec P11 which really fit her hand well. I was more keen on the M&P 9mm compact but the goal here was a gun that would fit her better than me. Got it cleaned up and ready for a range trip. Bud said let him know and he will be there so I can get her to the range.
I just had to share, if having 4 kids was not enough to show how tough she is, that she is stepping out of her comfort zone, and facing her apprehension with firearms head on like this, just seals it.
