That was you?

Little things you do can have a positive impact.

Looking at upgrading my home security system, so I had a nice lady from ADT over. She kept talking about her Ruger so, we got to talking about guns. Turns out she was someone I taught to shoot a few years ago. She was part of a concealed carry class, was afraid of guns and was learning to shoot with a Blackhawk shooting .357's. And was not having a good day. I started her with a .22 and then moved her to the BH. By the end of the session she had qualified and both her and her son were having a great time.

They both shoot and have a great time shooting. She thanked me taking my time to help her. Nice to know you made a positive influence.

I wrote this up but can't find it.

I like hearing stories like this. It what keeps our gun interest going. If we don't pass our knowledge on to other it will just die away.....

I can't imagine any newbie having a good day with a .357 Blackhawk. You getting her started right may save her, or someone else's, life some day. A very good deed, Greener!
