I think it's a VERY good idea to acquaint oneself with guns. Good going bebop.

I tried, last year for the first time I held a gun....... my legs started feeling weak, my back soon became drenched with perspiration(and I seldom ever need to use deodorant-- only when it's triple digit heat, as my hypothyroid keeps me cool)... I did fire the gun several times at targets--even hit some of them..... no one there knew what a hard thing that was for me to do.... but I couldn't complete the whole training with the others.....

I'm hoping things turn out well too.... ...

Thanks bebop--
