New Shooter Report

I might as well add a quick personal New Shooter Report: Daughter’s best friend Lillie, who will be accompanying us on the 2008 Catholic Tour, wanted to learn how to shoot.

Yesterday, she learned how to do so, in the most pleasant way: she accompanied the family, Doc Russia and Mr. and Mrs. Free Market to the rainswept Dallas Pistol Club range (thank you, Brooks, for your generous invitation), and was taught pistolcraft by Your Humble Narrator, then rifle skills by former Marine Doc Russia.

Also present at the shoot: over two dozen different handguns (and she shot nearly all of them). Most of last night was spent discussing what pistol she’ll be getting when she becomes of age*, and various aspects of the self-defense.

And now, a small Happy Dance.

*She just turned 18, and because of the stupid Federal law, is not allowed to purchase or carry a handgun, even though she is a slip of a girl, and therefore highly vulnerable to attack.

Don’t get me started.
