Just trying to understand why she would be spooked about you mentioning guns, maybe it was the way you said it. Shooting is a valuable skill, however taking delight in weapons of death is a disturbing thing for anyone to experience. An intelligent person said to only train with weapons, but not collect them, or flourish them more than necessary. It's true, if we are civilized people we approach with words, in a productive way first. No better way than that if you want someone else to be reasonable, you only escalate to that level if the person cannot be reasoned with.
The lack of reasoning is what puts people on edge.
She mentioned guns, she did, she did, all the time. She would always say, "if someone comes into her yard she would shoot them".
Anyone who trains with guns is not afraid of going shooting since they do that all the time. For instance, I train with guns so it's a normal thing to go shooting with people, that's why I asked. lol
I think you're just having trouble understanding, that's ok.
Since then, I've gone shooting with a lot of big talkers and they're usually beginners so I get it now.
Right, so the she likely was just talking to intimidate you or some kind of shit test. Women do that a lot, they always want to know where you are on the hierarchy. So they constantly test you.
The invention of firearms ranks with the printing press for promoting change in world history. Having an interest in the history of guns and owning some of the historical pieces isn't unreasonable. People who can't appreciate that aren't what I would call intelligent.
History is one thing, keeping some pieces as part of that historical appreciation, fine. Pulling out a loaded 44 using the barrel to scratch your head, during casual conversation about shooting things, well, behavior like that is another.
Suggesting a trip to the range isn't scratching your head (or ass) with a loaded .44.
