Girls Raised In The South, that is.
Today at an extended family birthday dinner, my nephew's wife and my daughter, both of whom recently got their Georgia Weapons License, decided they needed to practice shooting. My daughter has been shooting with me since she was about ten years old, but my nephew's wife isn't experienced at all. We all gathered up and went to the farm.
We had plenty of guns to choose from.
My daughter shooting her 442.
My daughter showing off the results of two "double taps." All the shooting was done from the five yard line.
Valerie (nephew's wife) shooting Katie's (my daughter) 442 as Katie looks on. She did very well for nearly her first time shooting a handgun. I actually had her shoot my 4" Model 63 a few times first to get the hang of it.
Leigh, my niece, shooting her Model 60. She is fairly experienced, but she hasn't shot in a while. She did very well.
My wife, who really isn't interested at all in guns or shooting, with a 1953 vintage M&P. She is actually a pretty good shot. She was a scholarship athlete at UGA and has wonderful hand/eye coordination. I insisted that she shoot a couple rounds so she would remember how. There is always a S&W revolver immediately available at our house, and I want her to be able to use it if necessary. She hit inside the two-inch bull at five yards with two double-action shots, so I left her alone.
The girls talking guns at the loading table.
All these girls are teachers. All (except my wife) hold Georgia Weapons Licenses, and my daughter and my niece both regularly carry their S&Ws in their cars, though neither carries regularly otherwise. I think Valerie will start carrying in her car regularly when she decides just what kind of gun she wants. Her husband (my nephew) is an experienced shooter, and he will probably work with her with some semi-autos.
Anyhow, we raise them right down here.

Hope they fed you a good lunch!
