I Married Annie Oakley

DW went to her concealed handgun class this Saturday.  She really didn't want to spend 12 hours away from us, but it helped that her mom and a bunch of ther church friends were doing it too.  They went out to the shooting range first thing and not only did she qualify but she scored a 232!  That's a high enough score to qualify as an instructor.  What's even more amazing is that she did it with a TINY .380 pistol.  Small pistols are notoriously inaccurate, especially the further out from the target you move.  She did have a few shots low on the target (ouch!  poor criminal) but every shot hit it.  I'm not ashamed to say she scored better than me when I qualified.  I only got a 210.

She was very proud of her shooting skills and new license (well, she sent off for it.  It hasn't gotten here yet), so I hung her target on our closet door.  Now she can see it everyday and be proud. 

I love that my wife is not afraid of guns and wants to be good at using one.  She is not squimish or timid about defending her home and family.
