My life is Worth Defending
On Tuesday night December 20 I went on a gun shoot with the Pink Pistols and the Golden Gate United NRA Members Council at Jackson Arms in South San Francisco.
I had fun and learned a lot.
I shot a 22 semi-automatic, a 22 revolver, both double and single action, and a 357 Smith and Wesson. Nice handguns. I hit the orange dot and was very consistent. Which means I put bullets in the same holes that had been shot by a previous bullet.
I will go again and maybe perfect my stance.

A background story:
When I was in high school I organized, set-up, and directed a high school level gun club. This club helped others like me gain social skills, develop dexterity, and learn safety. Not a one of those people ever went out in the world and hurt a person or themselves. As a matter of fact I do believe that a few of them went into the military and one became a law enforcement officer. That club was one of three that were permitted at the time.

Point:

Guns are not the problem, its the people who get them who are the problem.
Gang bangers, illegal drug dealers, robbers and theives, and terrorists have guns so why can't the citizens?
Shooting a gun is empowering.
