I don't know if I could ever love guns the way I love knives.
That would be scary.
I
really
love knives. They're all over my apartment. In every room. And when I say I have knives in my kitchen, I don't just mean culinary knives. There's a fighting knife in there too.
I'm not as good with them as I'd like to be, but I'm okay if I'm holding one with a good hilt. I used to study some kendo work. That was fun.
Hearing about JP's groomsman's gift exacerbated my need of a new knife. I thought I could hold off until this replica comes out, and I probably should be saving my pennies, but a small something couldn't...hurt?

This conversation is fascinating, yet I'm somehow how stuck on BOYS and BULLWHIP.
Mrph.
Oh, don't I wish, Toddson. But when Pete, the StuntHusband, AND my parents all say
NO FIRE FOR YOU,
there isn't really much I can do to get around it. Even tho' one of those "dragonfire" flamethrowers for weeding and gardening purposes would be verrrry useful with our yard ...
Take this and put a whip in instead?
I'm still not sure why, but my brain is plenty happy trying to make shit up.
Hee, so I totally lurk in this thread, but you are all talking weaponry! So I have to pipe up to say that in April I'm going to this Becoming an Outdoorswoman thing, which is totally like camp for grownups. I can learn stuff like orienteering and still water paddling. BUT I have also signed up for basic firearm instruction and shotgun and archery! I cannot wait. I'm particularly excited because it's in the context of women, so I can learn gun stuff without having to deal with the testosterone issues. I won't know until later which classes I got into, but I will be happy with any of the many things I signed up for.

That was my shotgun class. Fuckers. The guy I went with sent me back upstairs to dress less feminine, and I was treated like a glass princess at the course. As a woman in IT and the martial arts, it was hands down the most sexist treatment I've ever received. I was a brave little kitten, I was, for picking up a skeery shotgun. They recommended I try rifles instead. I guess they're more femme.
I complained enough about it (and got backup from the guy who thought I'd initially dressed too girly in the first place) that I got a free pass for another class, but why would I want to go back to that same school?
That sounds awesome, Liese.
ita, that ... does not. Fuckers.
