9mm

I can honestly say I’ve never has the opportunity to write this before. I just got back from the shooting range with Poe.

I shot a Glock.

Huh.

I have a really intrinsic fear of guns. They have been held to my head. I’ve been literally physically forced to hold them. Now I’m afraid of them. Not a healthy fear that promotes safety, but but a flight response. Because Poe’s potential line of work will probably entail firearms coming home I have to get over this, learn the safety, and learn how to use them the right way.

It’s going to take time. But I stayed the whole time and didn’t run. I fired 10 rounds. And now that I’ve fired a 9mm Poe wants me to 22mm next time. He said it’ll be more comfortable for me, but wanted to start me bigger so I have a healthy respect for the weapon. When it was time for me to shoot again, I just looked at him and said I don’t want to. He didn’t force me. I actually cried the 1st 15 minutes we were in there.

My husband is such a patient man. He was even proud of me.
