She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.

Cookin Up A New Shooter

I have answered the call. I am going to do everything in my power to help a friend I've known since high school (who knows I'm a gun nut) become a shooter.

She just went shopping yesterday for her first gun, and she's already getting pointed toward the de facto standard Good Gun For Women: the snub-nosed .38. Uhhmm... no. She was also presented with a Glock 33. Sure, why not a subcompact plastic fantastic in 9mm Super+P+P+SuperP+?

*sigh*

I covered some basics in an email (along with some not-so-basics. I can't help it; I love this stuff!), gave her the Four Rules, and pointed her toward the encyclopedic website of the Queen of Practical Gun-Totin' Wimmens.

I figured that's enough drinking from the firehose for one night;)

I gotta tell ya, I'm excited. She's already told me she's excited. This is gonna be great! I'd give just about anything to be there for her first trip to the range.

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
