guilty as charged.
One might assume that yesterday I cleaned toilets, grocery shopped, washed clothes, exercised, cleaned cat boxes and fed my people.
That assumption would be correct. I did.
I also made my bed.

I also made my bed.
{Bow to the queen}
And at one point, I also faced my biggest fear.
Guns.
They scare the be-jeesus out of me.
Now I can say they SCARED the be-jeesus out of me.
I faced my fear head on.
My MIL and I took a gun safety course.
And after a few hours of learning the ins and outs of every aspect of a gun…and most importantly how to be safe while handling a gun~~~
I had a gun. IN my hand. TO shoot.
And I did.
I must say, I am a quick learner. Unless I have to actually shoot a small black dot in the middle of a red dot to save my life…I will be just fine.
My fear has been conquered.
I am woman.
Hear me roar.
Roar.
{Go ahead. Make my day. Punk.}

Woo hoo!! Look at you, Annie Oakley! This is very cool. I'm proud of you. We've spent our entire lives around guns, so I sometimes forget other people might be afraid of them.Are you going to get a concealed weapon permit now? Those girls better watch out, cuz now you do a whole lot more than just shank 'em. Well, ok, I guess you'd probably still just shank 'em…

We have never owned a gun or had a desire to. In this day and time, it's a good idea to know how to use one though. I am proud of you for conquering your fear and glad you had someone share the activity with you.

I want a gun and lessons too. I need to know how to operate one safely. Sometimes I have gotten a little nervous being back in the woods alone if hubby is not here. My dogs are great, but a gun would be better. I'm proud of you. Debi

Good for you, Suz! Steve made me learn to shoot a pistol years ago, supposedly in case I needed it for self defense. Of course, I'm pretty sure I'd be useless in that situation…

Awesome!! My dad taught us to shoot, and although I can't say I really enjoyed it, it is a good skill to know for when you need to shoot zombies or something. (Heaven forbid some other reasons which shall remain unsaid.)
