ACT: NRA First Steps Pistol safety class - Terre Haute, IN - 31JAN09

What, and miss out on the opportunity to show my daughter how much gun money I should be spending on her?

D'OH! I forgot about that aspect!

Consider my tentative plans amended once again, sir.

My daughter attended this class. She has never had much of an interest in firearms, shooting or self defense. With a little coaxing from me, she agreed that some knowledge of these things might prove beneficial.

With meek interest in this area, the 19 year old was concerned that she was due for a boring 3 hours. She was pleasantly surprised, happy with the way the course was laid out and the personable instruction. A lot was learned.

On the way home, it was explained that "she thought she done pretty well with that thingy, hitting the circle most of the time" (airsoft pistol / target.) Just as described, it was a ''first steps" class.

Thanks a lot guys. We'll be seeing you this spring!

You're welcome and thank you, Burl! She never would have done it had you not made the effort.

thanks, burl. this is exactly the audience this class is designed to reach. we are truly glad your daughter wasn't bored and found some brightness to "dad's dragging me out for this d&*m class".

She "taught" me that she knows when and how to use her pink pepper spray at dinner after the class. She's going to need a refill.

Dont forget about the handcuff incident.

Or the zip tie incident.
Or how I get lost or take wrong turns all the time.
Or how I lost a textbook yesterday.

This list could get long.

Maybe NRA could develop a First Steps Rhino class that I could take?
