My dad will be taking some training, but its easier to find something for him, than it is a good ladies only class.surprise_i'm_armed wrote:shawn:
Congrats to your parents for becoming aware of the need for self-defense.
Your dad should take some training too. For those who have not shot weapons before,
it will be an eye opener, and then they will know just how loud that bang will be if they ever have
to use it for self-defense.
What is their handgun?
Do they plan on getting their CHL's? Whether one, both, or neither get their plastic,
getting a 2nd gun would be great so they'd each have their own piece.
I'm great at spending other people's money, eh? :-)
SIA
The bought a .22LR handgun. Its a good start. If you knew how far my parents have come on firearms, you'd be surprised. I finally got 'em both to the range a few weeks ago, and my dad was hooked. He is already talking about what he wants to get next. I really am trying to get them up to a .380 at least but I'll let them go at their own pace. I don't think my mom will ever get bigger than a .22. She really hates recoil.
I can see my dad getting a CHL, but I don't forsee my mom getting one. I may be able to talk her into the Utah (or what ever the other state crossfire teaches) one since the class is shorter. Who knows.... we'll see. She may surprise me.
