If you have never shot a firearm and would like the chance to do so in the Sacramento, CA area - feel free to contact me and we can arrange something.
Not new? Contact me to go shooting!
Rule One -
All guns are always loaded.
Rule Two -
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
Rule Three -
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
Rule Four -
Be sure of your target. Know what it is, what is in line with it, and what is behind it. Never shoot anything you have not positively identified.
*Follow all four rules at all times and accidents will never happen.
Wait, did you actually play the part of the protagonist in the comic (in which case kudos!), or did you say it was a mental moment because you didn’t actually approach her (as, I think, would have been the case with most of us)?
Absolutely a mental moment.
At my age her mental moment is more likely, “Aggh! Creepy Old Pervert!”
While waiting for the washing machine to finish at the laundromat, I tried starting a conversation with a woman. With irritation she asked “Do you always try to pick up women at the laundromat?” After thinking about that question, I asked her “What public places do you go to with the expectation that no one will ever talk to you?” She could only snort as an answer as she turned away.
The truth was, I was only trying to start a conversation to make a boring moment interesting, with no long term objective. Sigmund Freud once observed that sometimes a cigar is just a smoke.
I will now use that response; even if my intention isn’t as you stated. haha.
