^^^^^Sorry about the poor grammar in the title BTW, no way to change it!
My wife and I are taking the pistol safety course on Saturday evening. This is required in CT if you want a handgun. I've heard it's about two hours of classroom and then 2 hours of live fire. Everything's provided, including safety gear. It'll be a small class just us two and one other guy and the instructor.
This will be my wife's first time shooting ever. I don't mean just handguns either, she's never shot a long gun of any type either (unless you count a daisy) She's excited, but nervous as well.
Any suggestions to make her more comfortable and enjoy it more?
As far as clothes I told her not to have cleavage showing because of hot brass possibly flying. That struck her funny since she never shows cleavage outside of the bedroom. She hates pants, only wears skirts or dresses(long ones). I said it shouldn't be an issue wearing her jean skirt, it's not like we're going to tacti-school, just a basic safety course.
She said the instructor sounded nice on the phone, that's good. I was concerned we would end up getting a drill instructor type, and that might unnerve her. Since I'll be just another student I don't have to worry about the best way to teach anything.
