BTW, has your wife taken the course which teaches all the items you

covered?



===============================================





My wife has no desire to even hold or look at a gun, let alone shoot

one. If she did, and wanted to get a permit to own one, I'd recommend

she take the course that my son and his wife took that was far more

extensive. In anticipation of your next question, all my guns are

kept in a safe in my house and the only other person other than me who

has the combination is my son in South Carolina (in case something

should happen to us.)



My point in my original post was that I found the simple, 5 hour

course required to get a LTC in MA is marginally worthwhile,

especially for people who are not familiar with firearms or have

little or no experience with using them. I think that is a little

ironic for a state that otherwise has some very strict gun ownership

laws.





There is a whole list of courses available for my wife (and me,

possibly) to take if we desire. They

include advanced handgun, personal protection, concealed carry, pistol

cleaning and maintenance,

Utah/multi-state concealed carry, and a pot full of rifle courses. She

took the basic pistol course.

Good catch on my next question. We do keep a loaded gun in the house,

and have for many years. When

I saw the class given by a woman for women, I thought my wife would be

interested. She was. Now

she's wanting me to take her to the range. It won't be in the woods

shooting at stumps. Last night,

while going out for dinner, she mentioned getting a carry permit. So,

she may be taking the next

courses sooner than I thought!

Oh, boy! Be sure to keep us posted...I don't often watch the local news

on TV.



Why do you have to be such an asshole, all of the time.



Tell the little woman who manages your life and pays your bills to find

something for you to do that makes you happy. Otherwise you'll sit there

pounding on your keyboard, chewing your fingers and becoming more

miserable.



It's called 'bitterness'. Damn shame. But, it happens.

Bitterness? I'm not the aging white guy whose beliefs and phobias are

confronting him...you are. In anything or everything that matters, I'm

very pleased not to be a hateful old fart like you, and scared stiff of

blacks, latinos, strong women, gays, whatever.



Fortunately, you right-wing assholes are dying faster than your breed

stock can replace you.



Yup, that's what I'm talking about!

He's just mad because he has no reason to leave his basement. We are

back outside agian, Jess is back on the bike (shoulder is holding

together for now) and we are working wit the new team and Suspension

Sponsor... Her track and strength coach got a technique into her this

week I have been working on for over a year and it should change

everything for us...



Keep having fun John, like my dad said. "Life is short, you gotta' do

what you love, there can be no compromise"!


What happened to your daughter's shoulder?
