It seems at least as daunting a task to get certain groups of other humans to grow a spark of shooting interest. I have been whittling away at the "little woman" to go shooting for a good while.
She went deer hunting with me once when we were dating, but that is another story when we get closer to deer season. She was pro-gun all along, even joining in a pro-gun rally during the dark nineties. If she were not pro-gun she would not have met the qualifications to be Mrs. Gunlovingjohn. Being pro-gun did not mean she needed to shoot, just that she recognized their intrinsic worth.
After 12 years of solo trips to the gun range, I cajoled her into going to a match last year. She met some good people (called shooters) and has since became one of the newest, and might I add the prettiest, members of the gun culture.
I could go on, but she can tell the transition from a passive to active member of the gun culture a lot better than I. The other evening I took her out for a nice dinner and pitched the idea of a firearm blog from a "girly girl's" point of view. She got that spark in her eyes! I gave her a name, the Pretty Pistolera. Well, she has expanded the shooting universe.

Till next time, keep your muzzles pointed in a safe direction.
