Well at least you have some fun years before she turns into a teenager. I have noticed that girls who have been turned on to firearms and martial arts are a bit less of a pain in the raging hormones period.

Well, that seems to have worked in my case

Congratulations on the grand-daughter, Rumpshot!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Gotta call her dad and ask... The question, "what is her favorite caliber?"
Asked her Dad. Response was probably .22. Mom in the background, "No Guns!"

Guess another grandkid's arsenal will have to live at Grandpa's house...
