Gosh LT, thank you and the Mods as well!

I may be speaking out of turn, but I think most of us prefer to see discussions kept at a civil nature, which you all are marvelous at doing!

I have to agree that this has been a fun read, and a step back in time(for me).

Thank you mods for your hard work!

Besides, "an armed society is a polite society".

I agree with Seamus. Or prior to that during an evening or on the phone start a conversation about hobbies. During the course of it she'll ask you what your hobby is, and you can tell her target shooting and invite her then.

That's how Mrs. joe817 learned about the hobby, and I took her to "target practice" when we were dating in 1968. Little did she know that my pistols at the time were a Colt 1911, a Remington 1890 single action in .44-40(grandaddy to a .44 magnum), and a Colt 1873 SAA in .32-20. She shot them all, but didn't enjoy the the Remington or the 1911.
