I Shot a Gun!

So with election coming up, people are concerned with their 2nd amendment rights. My opinion, people can have gun as long as they are qualified to used them. People should be take gun safety and be licensed just like with cars, and they should probably also not be crazy enough to shoot people. Shooting people is rude.
Anyway, I went to Enid, OK with a friend to be his date to a friends wedding over Fall Break. While we were there we had some down time and he took me out to his grandmother's house to shoot his AR15.
At this point I had shot a gun exactly one time in my life and that was about 3-4 years ago. He and his cousin shot a few mags before he started showing me how to use the rifle. He explained how to load it, how to work the safety, and a few gun safety rules.
I aimed at the target, slowed down my breathing, and when I finally got comfortable I pulled the trigger. Surprisingly enough I actually hit the target with the first shot! Granted, I didn't hit it again the rest of the time we were there, but I got close.

The rest of the time I spent taking pictures of my friend as he did what he does best, "throwing away money" as he puts it. Unfortunately my memory card corrupted and I lost all of the shots I took. He got a couple of me though. Apparently I'm adorable when I shoot guns. 

I don't know that I really learned much on this adventure, but I had fun. I always advocate for trying new things, so get out there and try something!
Keep on Adventuring.
