Yesterday one of our neighbors "E" had a birthday party for her husband "J" It was an all day affair for them. however, since Senior had just got back from seeing his dad, he rested a bit. I cooked him a good supper, then we decided to walk over.
Most every one there was in their late 20s, or early 30s.. We were a bit out of our age group though, Plus we had kids.
"E and J" are good neighbors and we wanted to hang out. Plus, they are very Second Amendment. and Both carry concealed. And they like to camp. It is a hoot though, because She is from Sicily, and being European you wouldn't think her that way.
Senior was in his delight talking about tent and primitive camping with the guys, He really wants to do a trip along the AT (Appalachian trail) preferably in the spring. All he had to do was mention it last night, and all the eyes light up. "J" has trail guides and books on the subject.
Then the conversation turned to gun. One of the wives,"A" was talking about purchasing a new hand gun for her husband. They first couldn't decide between Glock, and Sig Sauer, or something like that..(I did have a rum shot in me, and a rum and coke). That is when the topic pretty much went to "A" and I and the men fell silent, as I discussed with her the various hand guns I own and carried. I told her I had to go through a few until I found my perfect one, which of course is my Glock 26 Gen. 4 or as Senior likes to call it "The Baby Glock". Senior then told the group about one of my first carry guns; the Judge. "J"'s eyes gleamed. perhaps one day I will let him shoot it. Then "E" came out, and talked about her Lady Smith and Wesson with the laser grips, which led me to discuss my new Smith and Wesson Bodyguard. 380.
I tell ya, nothing beats a warm fire, good drink, and gun talk amongst the girls, We are the new face of the gun owner in this country, and talking about it with these girl last night, just made me believe it even more. So many women carry concealed, women whom you wouldn't even think. It is our voice that will help to save our Second Amendment Rights.
And as far as the guys, well they ended up playing with ND and NW who were a huge hit....
