For well over 50 years, I leave it at that, my wife was the "anti gun" type. 3 months ago she was assualted in Venice and boy have things changed in my life. Now this 5'1" Grandma totes a Glock 17 and knows how to use it.
She has completed her Basic Firearms Course, Ladies Personal Safety Course and the Tactical Course plus received her CCW (Consealed Carry Weapon Licience). No more Mary Kay parties here she's at the range.
This was all her idea after being assualted in Venice. For years her greatest saying was "people should hunt with a camera", and I'd respectfully respond "yes Dear". Well once her personal safety was breached, boy did that change and quick. She now carries a Tact flash light, Alert Siren on her key chain and the largest key protuding between her fisted fingers. When "she" bought the G17 I questioned if it wasn't just a little big for daily carry. She stated that she wants big for the effect if and when she needs to use it. Well today we're heading out to buy something smaller for her everyday carry. Looks like I've got myself a G17.
I'm glad I'm among friends here, I'd never say this at home
but. isn't funny how those who profess peace and harmony can change once it's their freedom or safety that's at risk.
