My lesson learned this weekend: Don't back down from what you believe in.
This is the results of my other post. I saw my friend (that keeps asking me why I need a gun ) Saturday. I didn't bring it up and followed all the advice on the thread. I'm so happy typing this, I hope it makes sense. All these people I grew up with gathered at a local bar to see my friends band play. When I walked in my friend patted me on the back and said "Hey you gun nut" I just smiled and said Thanks . Later 6 of us were standing in a circle when he said to another friend "Tell Sandy shes nuts, she wants to buy a gun" ...that entire thread went through my mind LOL. But before I could say anything the other guy said to me "Why are ya gettin' a gun?" I simply said when I am ready I want one for home protection PERIOD. The guy smiled and said "Good enough for me. What are ya going to get? I've got an entire arsenal if you ever want to try some out give me a call." The other guy just shook his head and walked away. Turns out that many of these people own guns and were totally on my side.One friend asked me to go talk to his wife because she hates the guns in the house and is always complaining about them. I told him I really didn't want to get in the middle of it, so I gave him a mothersarms phamplet for her. She said she will take a look at it. By the end of the night I had 4 offers to go to the range and one person (I have never seen in my life) offered to give me a gun LOL. One grammar school friend moved to IN and said if I was ever around that area to stop by and I can shoot his 16 gauge shotgun.? It was nice to see that a good portion of these people owned guns and didn't have the slightest problem that I wanted one too. But wait it gets better! This girl I worked with years ago was there. She had overheard our conversation earlier and came up to me at the end of the night. She said that her and her brother just rented an apartment and she had always thought about getting a gun. (She is about 4'9 really tiny) She asked me if it was scary and I told her not at all with proper training. So to make a long story short she is going to come to the range with us when we go. I forgot to ask her if she was online otherwise I would have given her the URL for here, she is going to call me this week so maybe I will be sending another newbie over. So all in all, it turned out great and my friend didn't bother me about that the rest of the night. I am sure in time it will come up again but I am not giving up on him, I think I can answer any question he throws my way. I think he might have realized that if these 6 foot plus Harley guys are protecting their homes that would be even more reason for me to want to. THanks for all the posts it came in handy!
