I met my girfriend at the range :D

One of my good friends was leaving for college on the mainland two years ago...he used to jump at every chance to go to the range with me (if he had gas or I picked him up), so I decided to have a goodbye "party" at the range. I figured doing it at Koko Head would not be the best thing to do, so I set up a range day at Magnum. A couple other friends that knew him came along bringing guns and we dropped over $500 on ammo that day. She was one of his high school friends that came along...and she's accompanied me to nearly every range trip since then :)

She has a modded Ruger 10/22 from my little collection that will be transferred to her two weeks after she turns 21.

My ex-wife was interesting. Loved it when I brought home the shotgun and .357 because they were good home defense choices. They never got used except at the range, of course. Most of us are lucky enough that home defense shooting is never needed.

When I wanted to buy a rifle and start hunting, though, she put her foot down and told me she would never eat the meat. I thought it was a good idea since eating happens a lot more than shooting burglars and she was not a vegetarian. She'd tell me how hunting was cruel while munching down a hamburger and wearing one of her 6 pairs of fashion leather boots. Oooookay.

Glad she's my EX-wife.

she had some pretty strong anti-gun views but a trip to the range to play with the 9mm made her have a change of heart went through a whole box and she left with a big smile.

I voted for "Loves guns" because the next one damn well will-or she won't have a chance to become significant; she'll just be an "other".

My wife likes guns, she just doesnt like me spending money.  She made me promise last year I wouldnt buy any more guns until the 2012, so I spent the year buying optics and accessories, reloading components etc.  She's since learned she wont win at that game.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Loves it. Just bought her a Ruger SR22 to go with her heavy barrel 10/22.
