Mario has been begging me to get a revolver that is easy for me to handle. I told him that I wanted to pick it out. So after researching guns this morning, we went to a gun show (just a coincidence that one was in town this weekend). I picked out the gun I wanted, but insisted on having laser grips. So we found a shop in town that sells exactly what I was looking for. I don't think Mario will let me pick out any more guns, it cost him a lot more than what he expected (he used his TDY money to fund the purchase.) But I love my new gun and the kids are jealous of the cool laser. Now maybe I can actually hit my target or at least scare the person who breaks into my house. I think I would be nervous having a laser pointed at me.
Instead of meeting for lunch dates at Subway or Jason's Deli, Mario and I will be meeting at the range for the next few weeks so I can be proficient before his deployment. I think I am turning into my sister. I never understood why she liked target practice. I am not sure I will like it as much as her, but it will be nice to learn to defend myself and my family if I ever need to. Mario is wanting me to take the concealed weapon course. Could you imagine me becoming a gun toting mom?

nope, can't imagine it. I do enjoy shooting the gun for practice, but I don't like to do it for hours at a time like some people. I do feel very safe knowing that it is available to me if I need it. Hopefully we never have to use them to defend ourselves.
I think that is good you have a gun and will be practicing using it before Mario leaves. I don't even know how to use a gun.
