[QUOTE="Absster, post: 2921899, member: 41464"] Whoa! I'm impressed by someone's phone skills! :) Thanks for the detailed response! I'll definitely watch the video and you made some really valid points. My comfort level in the person teaching me to shoot a gun...or the lack of...is the reason I'm 35 and have been raised around them and own them but have never fired one. My father owned firearms all my life and he would teach me about the actual working parts but, he is a hunting man. I feel like this is a whole different area. My fil...that man shouldn't have owned firearms. His gun "accidentally" went off TWICE in his house and he had no issues getting his guns out and waving them around like a 5 year old with a nerf gun. I've never desired to pick one up and make it a hobby. For me, it's a responsibility and not one I necessarily want but I'm finally prepared to take it on to protect my family. I have been feeling the need to for the last year but my stomach gets queasy at the thought of holding something that once I put it in my hands, loaded, is a huge responsibility. I'm hoping just diving into learning and then finally doing it, eases my stomach. Anyway, thank you all for the responses! I'm going to share this all with my husband so we can figure out the best way to move forward! [/QUOTE]
