I was talking with Mrs. wizardpc over the weekend about taking some classes from Tom Givens<\/a> (warning: auto-playing video w\/sound, so mute your speakers) in 2012. Drew<\/a> has already progressed from ‘never shot a handgun before’ to ‘I want to shoot IDPA’ in less than three months, and the two of us want to take Givens’ level 1-5 classes. The Level 1 class satisfies the requirement for a TN Handgun Carry Permit, and the subsequent classes build on that. Since I’ve always wanted Mrs. wizardpc to get her permit, she’s going to go with us to the Level 1 class–as soon as we figure out a date that works for everyone.<\/p>\n

I floated this to her a couple of weeks ago, and her reaction was, “What? Why don’t I get to go to the other classes, too?”<\/p>\n

That was pretty much the opposite of what I was expecting, since she has no desire to actually carry. Totally awesome, though.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this weekend we were talking about it some more, and we had a conversation that went something like this:<\/p>\n

\nMe: I was looking at Rangemaster’s site and they will provide a handgun and ammo for the level 1 class.
\nHer: What about after that?
\nMe: Well, after that you have to supply your own gun, ammo, and related gear like magazines and a holster.
\nHer: Well, I guess we just need to get all that stuff for me, then.<\/i>
\nMe, dumbfounded: Errr, okay! Sure!
\nHer: And you know the rule about buying guns: The other spouse gets an equivalent amount to spend on jewelry. Or, in your case, guns.<\/i>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love this woman. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I’m thinking a single stack compact 9mm for her, since I’d prefer not to have to keep another caliber in stock. Naturally, she<\/i> is going to pick it, but I’d like some thoughts on what she might want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
