I can see how the ladies may not care for it.

This lady is hoping that if/when she gets hers theyll use the DL picture: around 5 years younger and about 20lbs lighter. :lol:

Re: This is why more women should carry

This is EXACTLY why Im trying to get my CHL. I can't explain the feeling of being a woman and being in a situation where you are completely defenseless or the feeling you get when a man approaches and something about him makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. A gun is about the only thing...

Re: Need Advice - just realized I wont pass background check

Re: Buying guns as a lady......

I walked out of my local Academy and never looked back. The women behind the counter where I finally bought mine was great.

Re: Weapon suggestions for the wife?

Im able to rack the slide with quite a bit of effort but its pretty awkward and sometimes too difficult when my hands start getting tired. A piece of advice an old instructor gave me about shooters with weaker hands: Hold the slide firmly in one hand. With the gun pointed in a safe direction (the g...

Re: Weapon suggestions for the wife?

I didn't read through all of the replies to your post so disregard this if your wife has already made a decision. She is lucky that she has you to help her out with this. I was all on my own and very intimidated throughout the process but I finally decided on the M&P shield. It doesn't meet your...

Re: Need Advice - just realized I wont pass background check

A most strange question at a most curious time, eh? What do you mean? Why is my question strange at a strange time? lolblolly, we get trolls on here from time to time asking questions such as this after events such as the recent shooting in Aurora, CO. Generally, these trolls ask an extremely provo...

Re: Need Advice - just realized I wont pass background check

A most strange question at a most curious time, eh? What do you mean? Why is my question strange at a strange time? Does the recent Aurora, CO massacre and its resultant anti-2A hysteria ring any bells? Oh, okay, yes I get it. I thought you were suggesting that my post might be fake. Its pretty unf...

Re: Need Advice - just realized I wont pass background check

As far as buying my gun, I bought it through a dealer and answered no to being involuntarily commited. I very honestly did not think about it when I filled out the form-its so far in my past. I am certain that I signed myself in to the hospital; however, the application states even a voluntary stay ...

Need Advice - just realized I wont pass background check

First I want to say this is very hard for me to post on a public forum. After reading through several threads on here, I realized I won't easily pass the background check due to a short stay in a psych hospital almost 20 years ago. It was for a VERY unsincere "suicide" attempt and I have b...
