A couple of weeks ago, the boyfriend got his concealed weapons permit. We’ve always talked about going to the shooting range on a date, but it’s either been really busy, or it’s the weekend we’ve had the kids.
Up until late last year, I’d never even touched a gun. We would go in to the gun store & just look at the different guns.
Now that the boyfriend has his CCW, we are starting to look more seriously in to getting a gun.
Since we didn’t have the kids this weekend, after i got off work, we went to the shooting range & shot a box of ammo.
For it being my first time shooting a gun, i don’t want to say it was fun. It was…nerve wracking. It was LOUD! I jumped almost every time someone shot.
I shot about 16 rounds on a 9mm Smith & Wesson Shield & the boyfriend shot the rest on some other gun that i don’t know what its called.
For it being my first time shooting I’m rather proud of myself because i shot the target in the neck.
With all of this being said, i want people to know that i take gun control & gun safety seriously. There is a time & place for guns. Some people don’t know the boundaries for that. My boyfriend & i do.
This is just one more thing i can cross off my bucket list.
Oh…and (this is the girl in me coming out) they had some really pretty purses there the had concealed holsters in them. I wouldn’t mind one.
Have you ever shot a gun before?

You talk about a time and a place for a gun, surely the time is never! I don’t understand why anyone needs a gun, or how you think that you can ever be truly safe (especially with kids around) with a gun in the house.
Yes I’m British, but I sincerely hope that we never adopt US gun laws – and for your own sakes I hope the US changes it’s gun laws.
This was not meant to be a post about gun laws or anything. This post was meant for showing i got to cross something off my bucket list. We all have different views on gun laws & i think it would be nice to just leave it as we agree to disagree on these things
That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted to try that too but haven’t done it yet. I’ve never been around guns so it makes me a bit apprehensive to try it.
