You might be a redneck if....

....your momma puts "ammo" on her Christmas wish list.


K's former boss....she's now working "upstairs"....for some reason recently decided she wanted a concealed handgun license.  She successfully completed the classroom portion and passed the shooting part as well with a gun she rented from the gun range.  Now she wants to buy her own semi-automatic pistol. Trouble is, she knows nothing about handguns.    Tomorrow morning I'm taking her to the Gun and Knife Collector's show in Dallas and will try to give her a crash course in what she needs to know about firearms, especially about safety.  I'm afraid her out shopping for a gun by herself would be like the little naive lady at the unscrupulous car repair shop.  


She's not that big of a lady and she keeps talking about getting a .45.    She mentioned that her rented gun jammed several times during her test, which tells me her wrists might not be strong enough to handle the recoil from a .45.  I'm going to try and talk her down to a 9mm.  I hope she'll listen.  Then comes live shooting at a range, and finally care and cleaning.   When I get through with her she'll be a regular Annie Oakley.  ;)

Late edit:  K's boss called to say she's sick.  This is twice she's asked me to take her, and twice she's been "sick".  Maybe she does need to go gun shopping by herself after all.
