But can she shoot?My MOI, she's a great lady. Ornery as all get out, and stubborn. Hehe
Just my opinion but, I don't think a lot of training is necessary for basic home defense. If someone is interested in training that's great. If they just want a simple reliable weapon to deal with a possible intruder a shotgun or revolver is a good choice. Some low pressure target practice and some common sense safety advise is a good start to get them interested in shooting. JMHO as a non tactical guy.
Smart Lady! No firearm/ammo registration required!My MIL is crazy and keeps a hand held crossbow that shoots sharpened pencils next to her bed.
Smart Lady! No firearm/ammo registration required!
Last summer there was a rash of gang shootings and break-ins around my Mother-in-laws neighborhood. She is 65 and retired, while her new, younger pacifist husband still works. Since then I have offered to: come over with unloaded firearms so they could check them out; take her to the BiMart gun counter; pay for a firearms safety course; pay for a women's only dry fire SIRT pistol season a few blocks from her house; pay for a Women on Target class and of course to take her to the range myself. I even bought a 22LR Single Action Army replica and some 22shorts for her first shots.
Every time I offered something she came up with some excuse to not go, but still wants a shotgun or a revolver just in case. So I finally figured out that she really only wants a Talisman to feel protected, but flatly refuses to put any time or effort into training. A recipe for disaster. So I told her that "I am out. She is not ready for responsible firearm ownership". Now she is giving my wife the silent treatment.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Something she absolutely should not do....at least not to use on anything other than wasps. It's not effective and there could be legal issues using it for defensive purposes.she said that she keeps a can of wasp spray by the front door.
