Another Joins the Ranks

[tele_mark]

I talked to my sister tonite. She lives in Hubbardston and was motivated last summer same as me by the stuff in New Orleans to become a gun owner. We took the GOAL Basic Pistol course together under Jon Green in October. She applied in late January -- and just got her Class A-ALP 2 days ago!

Cool!
No doubt that the NOLA incident has created a surge in new licenses nationwide. Now to educate them about the truth.

Sweet, Tell her congrats

 

[tele_mark]

Will do! Now, to get her to buy a .22 target pistol......

I just LOVE hearing when another woman gets smart. Tell her I said welcome to the family of females who will no longer be helpless and defenseless. (now she just needs to become proficient )

Mark, when you do, get pix and send them to Kim du Toit - he likes to publish that stuff on his blog.

congrats to your sister, BTW! I think that I'll get my sister to shoot a gun about when Old Scratch starts taking skiing lessons! (Darn it, Derek! Where's our [roll] smiley!)

good for her! We need more women out there to help equalize the testosterone.

No offense guys. But I AM starting to get tired of having to put the toilet seat down in the WOMEN'S bathroom at the range...

Tell her congrats now go get a piece

 

[tele_mark]

That's the best part of it -- more guns for me to shoot!

It's the main reason I've been holding off on getting a .22 target gun. Now to talk her into a 1911 as her house gun.....

THey are controllable, when using moderately light loads. And those light loads also work well for defensive purposes.

 

[tele_mark]

She definitly wouldn't have any problem with a 1911. She shot a .357 with defensive loads at the GOAL class and had no problem at all.
