Went to Cabela's today with the kids
My 4 year old daughter saw the guns and asked, "Will you teach me to shoot guns, Daddy?" Understand, this is a girl who wakes up and announces she's a Mermaid-Fairy-Princess. Well, she might have a future as a Mermaid-Fairy-Princess-Badd@ss. I said I would be glad to. We walk around and she gravitates to the AR-15s. "Why can't we get one of these?"
I have a lengthy list of firearms that have drawn my interest, but the SW M&P 15-22 has jumped closer to the head of the queue. That, and a pink cricket. |

Sounds like a DPMS with a sprinkling bit of pink lacquer on it to me.

Neither of my daughters was interested in shooting until after they finished high school, although I frequently offered to take them to the range. During their college years, both developed at least some interest, and my youngest is both a fine shot and nurturing a growing interest in handguns.

I can't get my 9yo interested in shooting at all.
On the plus side she wants to go fishing every 5 minutes. ![]() |

My 'little girl' is my wife who has taken to shooting so well, she goes to Cabela's without me when I work overnights! I've created a monster but she always brings me a Hunt Bar and some ammo!

My 9 year old loves going shooting. I'm excited for Christmas so he can get his BB gun to go out with me when I plink with my .22.

My long-term girlfriend is a mystery to me. Last semester, I took her out to shoot. First time she'd ever shot. Guns were a .40 and a pocket .380 - possibly the two worst guns to learn shooting on (I'm still working on adding a high-capacity 9x19 to the collection, probably end up being a Glock 17/19, Beretta 92 variant, or Smith M&P). She shot both like a champ, had zero issues with the "snappy" recoil of the .40 or "brutal" recoil of the LCP that all you manly men talk about on here (
![]() Then walked away totally uninterested. Not upset, not hurt, not neglected, just didn't strike her fancy. She is a gunslinger with no interest in being one. Ah, well, at least she can defend herself.
