I know how to clean, load, and shoot a gun. I have handled them quite frequently in the past. It doesn't make me like them any better.
My guess is she's lying through her fucking teeth. Just like all the libtards who claim to "be gun owners" or "know all about guns" etc, etc, horseshit, horseshit.
EDIT: God save us from know-it-all Liberal Arts majors which, unfortunately, I happen to be, as well.
I sincerely hope she's been better trained than by those morons who film their girlfriends and/or wives shooting guns for the first time and show them putting the scope up near their eyes, handing them a full-house .44 magnum as their first handgun they've EVER fired, or asking them to shoot 12-GA MAGNUM rounds while trying to hit a clay pigeon and then laughing when they almost fall on their asses!!
Unfortunately, she seems like the type of person who, after having a bad experience with NO training, says: "Thanks, but I've had enough", even though she has never REALLY experienced how to handle or shoot a firearm IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
My WIFE was scared and intimidated by firearms until she attended a few of the NRA's WOMEN'S TRAINING COURSES. Now she's a safe and competent gun handler, and she knows & practices the 4 Rules, and she loves to go shooting any time we get the opportunity. She frequently asks me when the next Women on Target class is being taught because then she can use other people's guns and ammo, AND she doesn't have to worry about cleaning them afterwards!!!
WHERE can you get THAT for only $25 (to shoot handgun, rifle, and shotgun - at our local
Alpine, San Diego County range - 20 minutes outside San Diego city limits - photos from the
January 2014 class - showing a WHOLE LOT of happy faces)???!!!!
We even have people coming down from the L.A. area to attend our classes because they get to experience all three disciplines and we also have an OUTSTANDING reputation for training, with a LOT of repeat class members (who sometimes bring their boyfriends and/or husbands).
The ONLY thing she has to lose is time if her class is being paid for (I will
GUARANTEE her
NRA Women on Target class fee, and you KNOW I'm good for it)!!
I only require she take an HONEST view/account of her training class, and write about it HONESTLY. If she didn't like it, that's fine, I can handle it (but I also have HUNDREDS of VERY satisfied women telling me otherwise, so her one negative wouldn't hurt me in the least), just PLEASE do an HONEST appraisal of the class and the experience (along with talking to and evaluating the other women's experiences). I just want her to be honest to not only herself, but others too (including her readers).
Tell other women just how empowering it is to be able to have the ability to protect yourself and family BEFORE the police arrive (IF you get the opportunity to even call them). Just be honest, and write about the experience HONESTLY!!! That's all. If she doesn't like it, be specific, say what she doesn't like about it. BE A JOURNALIST, be SPECIFIC, LET your readers KNOW what it is you don't like AND WHY.
I dare her to be HONEST not only in print, but to HERSELF!!!
