My Story:

I was busy with life, children, church, and family when my husband challenged me to get my concealed handgun license. This is when it really began for me and changed the way I thought about guns and safety for me and my girls. I took my first concealed carry class and felt the thrill of shooting for the first time. I was amazed to how that simple step changed my whole way of thinking about guns and how empowered I felt to know I could take care of me and my girls. This made me want to go to the Range which I had no idea how to do, where to go, could I go by myself? These were things I learned with my husband’s help since he knew about guns, and what to do when I got there. I am lucky that my husband started with gun safety which is what matters at a local gun range. I felt out of place like I was on Mars and out of my league by far. When my husband walked up to one of the old guys at the range and said “Hi where do we start on the range” The old guys turned out to be very friendly and were willing to answer many of my questions. It felt strange for a while since I seemed to never run into any ladies at the range. I finally got the courage to ask a lady friend if she wanted to go with me, she said yes! That was an awesome feeling! So, I figured out the secret to the range, ask people to come with you, that’s when it became even more fun!
