Well, I'm a girl who likes guns. I'm originally from SE KY but have recently relocated to Kingsport TN. I currently own two guns. A Rossi .38 pistol and a .22 magnum derringer. I'm currently thinking about getting my concealed carry permit.

Glad to see females taking an active interest in firearms!

[Guest Archimedes]

Indeed.

I've got my GF wanting to get her permit.

She'd never shot a gun before I came along and she took right to it.

I started her off with smaller caliber guns, but she'll only shoot my Glock 36 now.

Welcome, Julez!

Please follow through with getting your handgun carry permit. Your personal safety is paramount...

[Guest Rooster]

Welcome.

Its funny how a lot of women dislike the idea of hanguns, but when they finally go shoot, they love it. A friend of mine and I go shooting quite often and we talked his wife into going with us. At first she just wanted to watch and after I talked her into shooting my sig 228 she went and bought 150 rounds and shot through all of them. I must say after a little intruction she was shooting like a champ. I have never seen my friend more proud.

I've been shooting guns since at least the sixth grade. I can remember taking a hunters safety course when I went to a conservation camp. I think I was the only girl who actually knew what they were doing. LOL My dad owns a lot of different fire arms. Every time he bought a new one, he'd teach me how to use it. The first gun I ever shot was an old .22 bolt action rifle. My dad took me out for some target practice with it. I absolutely loved it! He gave me my .38 Rossi when I first moved out of the house years ago...and then the .22 deringer when I moved to TN. I still miss that old .22 rifle though. LOL

Hey, I got one of those Rossi .38's, mine is a snubnose. First handgun I ever bought, when I turned 21 from Walmart:eek:

Welcome to TGO!

Good to see some women on the forum. I love it when stereotypes are proven wrong!

Also, I have to comment on women & guns. I have seen several examples of women who fell in love with shooting after being adverse to it at first. Many seem to make excellent shots. A female friend of mine went through the carry permit class with me and she shot 100% on the range test -first time she had ever picked up a gun in her life. Turns out she's a natural.

Get your permit, be safe, continue to practice and train. And welcome aboard!

I'm also from Kingsport. I have a 32 year old daughter that got into guns and shooting a few years ago when she took a part time job in a gun shop in Johnson City. She got her handgun permit at ETSU. I had no idea that a state college had a program for shooters but they do. She really liked the class.

Are you familiar with Cherokee Rod and Gun Club? Its a great place to go shoot. There are getting to be more and more ladies coming out there and you might find it a good place to hang out once in a while. You can take the handgun permit class there as well.

Yeah I noticed that! LOL Yo:D u're the first person I've seen with one besides me, only mine isn't a snub nose. It was the first gun I've ever owned.

Oh really?? I just moved here and had no idea. Once I get settled in my new job etc, I may just have to take the course! While I'm fairly comfortable with firearms and have been around them most of my life... most of my experience is still limited and I would really love to learn as much as I can.
