This is definitely the kind of training I'll need. My natural clumsiness/awkwardness is the reason I haven't purchased a handgun yet.
Through that, as ghost can tell you, you will lose the natural and sensible fear of the power of the thing in your hand. Confidence with the weapon is about 99% of it. Also, practice, practice, practice. Like anything the more you do it, the better you get.
Also, you shoot with your heart....
You're gonna stand in front of me with a loaded weapon in my hand??!?? Who are you, and what have you done with DiO?I'll guess I'll have to stand in front of you.
And it's got a hell of a band named after it.
38 Special is my 2nd favorite Van Zant band.....
My beard is not long, but not short. It is the type of rugged manbeard that says "Hey, that guy is a discerning sort, yet lights his farts."
I can work with that beard....line it up nicely, and a little oil. It will look amazing!
....but if you fart on me, you're getting the business end of the pointy stick
OK, but maybe I'll let you fart on me.I can work with that beard....line it up nicely, and a little oil. It will look amazing!

How did you think she was gonna blowdry your beard?OK, but maybe I'll let you fart on me.
If there's an IDPA group (Int'l Defensive Pistol Association) near you, they're a good resource for classes and training. IDPA training and competition focuses on real life home invasion type scenarios and their instructors are very good in my experience. They have training for night time shooting drills, shooting from cover inside your house, as well as drills for escape and evasion. It's a lot more realistic than just standing on the line blasting stationary targets. If you need any info feel free to PM me ma'am. I'll be more than happy to assist, even a Tar Heel fan...
Weekly Survey 6-18-17
1. What is your favorite brand of peanut butter? Jif
2. Have you ever seen a shooting star? Yes
3. Do you have a credit card you've never used? No
4. Do you like your neighbors? Some very much, others I could take or leave. The guy who works on cars in his garage and blasts death metal, for instance, I wouldn't mind trading him in for a different neighbor.
5. What is the biggest attraction in your town/state? I guess beaches, although I don't think they're that great.
6. How old were you when you went to your first funeral? Maybe 10?
7. Have you ever received an awful haircut but didn't tell the hairdresser because you didn't want to hurt their feelings? No.
8. What's your favorite John Hughes movie? Who is John Hughes?
9. Do you believe in Bigfoot? I'm totally neutral on Bigfoot. There could be something out there, just based on the volume of sightings, but it doesn't matter to me either way. Ghosts, on the other hand, really fascinate me.
10. What is the most afraid you've ever been? That is tough, because I have a tendency towards anxiety, and that can upgrade the fear/dread factor from 0 to 10 in an instant. I think it would have to be when I witnessed a terrible car accident involving my grandparents when we were visiting them in Florida. I was 14, and I still remember the adrenaline rush had me literally shaking for hours. (There were some injuries, but none too serious.)

*edit, after using Google magic:
Favorite John Hughes movie: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, hands down. The most quoted movie year-round in our house!

He was a director who wrote and directed many iconic '80s films including Sixteen Candles, Home Alone and The Breakfast Club. Home Alone was in 1990.
LOL!! I know all those, of course, but I never know the names of either directors or actors. I always refer to actors as their characters, ha!

C'mon.......you know you're a Tar Heel fan, a little bit!

So glad things went the way they did. I heartily approve of the "mountain justice!"

sharpie
Sharpie: An australian youth subculture which existed rougly between the years of 1971-1979, that is, for most of the 1970's. They were most prevalent in Melbourne but grew to encompass both Sydney and Adelaide. They were different from the majority of youth at the time as they wore neat clothes and generally had short, neatly trimmed hair. They were a unique Melbourne subculture who wore clothes and shoes made by local tailors and shoe makers and listened to local rock & roll bands such as Lobby Loyde's Coloured Balls, Buster Brown, Hush, Skyhooks and AC/DC. They hung out around shopping centres and were itimidating in both their appearence and mannerisms. Eventually the sharpie era effectively came to an end with the advent of disco and the fact that it was almost a requirement that you grew your hair longer so you would be allowed into clubs.
"sharpie, sharpie, sharpie!"
