On Facebook yesterday, a lovely young girl posted a picture of herself shooting an AR-15 .22. She was proud of herself for getting out there and shooting. I think her name was Kelly. Pretty girl. Cool rifle. (An M&P15-22)
And being a Novice Shooter, she held the rifle in the classic New Gun Girl Stance. Meaning her cheek weld was directly above the rifle butt. I’d post the picture but she pulled it down.
Why did she pull it down?
Was it her Liberal Friends who were giving her hell because she was shooting a gun?
Nope. It was from Shooters who Dog Piled on her for her posture.
I see that the Ultra Macho Super Tattoo Gun Crowd is still doing the best: being stupid. They are like little boys that do not want girls in their super-secret tree house because girls are yucky or they are afraid they will take over.
I have news for you guys: Women took over many other aspects of life long time ago. I heard many moons ago that Eve had a taste of the Forbidden Fruit 15 minutes before Adam and that women have kept that advantage ever since. Guns are the natural progression in their war of conquest so better shape up or be ready to be pounced upon by the softer-not-quite-weak sex.
Don’t be dicks.

Now you see why I have the Pledge. http://fillyerhands.com/the-pledge
Let’s treat new shooters well or we won’t have any.
Unwelcome range idiots have driven me from public ranges to private club ranges.
It’s not just seeing new shooters, it’s seeing something new and different (to them) that brings out the range idiots.
As for men, it is only with great reluctance that I’ll ever teach a guy to shoot for the first time anymore. They just won’t listen, won’t let go of movie-conceived notions of how to shoot, and do not as diligently obey the safety rules. Women are much better students, and develop skill much faster.
well said
Sometimes great things are destroyed from within. I know this just by being near gunnie 2.0-ers who share that “I am now elite so imma adopt the jerk stance”.
