Gun Control

GUN CONTROL!!! This is me shooting for the first time.

After much convincing Adam finally got me to go with him to the shooting range last weekend. Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against guns, I just don't know how to use one nor have I ever been around one. So, we went. On this particular day & at this particular range (close to our house), it was pretty darn crowded. I was nervous and didn't quite know what to expect. We waited our turn until a slot came up for us to use. Put on our protective eye & ear wear and headed in. There were about five other "shooters" in the same area. Just think 4 other people (that you don't know) holding guns in a relatively small space. I almost paniced thinking about that so I just tried to focus on learning how to load, hold, control & shoot the gun we were using. I couldn't even tell you what it was - I think a revolver. I didn't have much "kick" as they call it so it wasn't that bad. I did pretty well as far as hitting the target goes. Then Adam wanted to try another gun - 9mm maybe??? Again I could be totally wrong. Lots of kick and I did not like it one bit. I shot it twice and that was it for me - I was out. After shooting this gun, reality sunk it of where I was and I just felt completely overwhelmed. Adam continued on a little more and I watched safely from beside some bullet proof glass.

Why did we go you ask? Adam would like to purchase a gun for home protection. I am not against this idea but feel it is important to be educated and know how to use it before I bring it into our home. I honestly don't like guns but don't feel like having one in my home is that bad of idea if I know how to use it when ever necessary. I hope that time never comes.
