It is interesting that you should say that. It has been my experience that women tend to be better shots than men, unless there is a bit of stress involved. My ex-wife, who has never shot a handgun, put me to shame the first time she shot my Beretta, and I have (or had in 1992) marksman rating at the police department I was working at. But once she was in the stress situation (loud music, gently poking in the back - at the police range) her accuracy dropped considerably and mine increased considerably. > Two, the technical details of handgun grips and stances has > changed a bit since my dad was in the Army.

I just love on TV and movies when the bad guys do that sideways gun type of shot. That seems to be a trademark of gang style shooting on TV now. > The experience augmented my growing conviction that this > country desperately needs a liberal version of the NRA and > leftist types willing to encourage responsible handgun use. > You never know when you'll need the second amendment to > protect yourself from a nascent security state exploiting > TWAT to deprive you of your civil liberties, after all. :-) I wish that all of the opposing sides could find a common middle ground, but I suppose that is almost as unlikely as peace in the Middle East. > Oh, and those who insist on wrangling ad nauseam over list > politics in > this late day and age should go have a rat-dropping burrito > (Nick excepted > - he's already had his ration). Go, and wank no more! My rat dropping comment was actually based on a Richard Jeni comedy skit that I have on MP3. It is the funniest thing I have ever heard. If anyone wants the MP3, I can put it on my website (it is about 6MB), Anyway, unintentionally, that does tie in with Nick's present situation. :-) Gary _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
