I don't even remember how the conversation I was having with Gary turned to guns, but when it did, I decided to share with him that I'd never shot a gun. Ever. I consider myself pretty girly, but also able to hang with the guys- to an extent. I don't exactly have the desire to shoot random objects or animals, and certainly not people. However, if the time presented itself where I was in clear danger and needed to know how - for self defense - I would want to be prepared. I shared this with my co-worker and he and I began our discussion about the where's and when's of getting a concealed weapons permit in east TN. He had some good recommendations on who to take the class from and then he went on to tell me the story of a woman he knew. She had a similar story to mine: never shot a gun before and for safety reasons, decided to go to the shooting range/CWP class. I believe the story went that she was very nervous to even pick up a gun but as it turns out, once she got that gun in her hands, this lady was quite the shooter. "Sharp shooter" as Gary would tell it. And that's not all - "she was a natural born killer" this woman*. "Matter of fact, she could shoot the hair off a gnat's butt with one hand tied behind her back!" [*please note; she did not actually shoot/kill anyone.]
And that friends, is today's ronism.
Thanks, Gary!! :)
