I took CCW class from neighbor who knew my disability issues. He’s the county’s CCW person anyway. We had 6 in the class, 3 were ‘gun guys’ plus DH and I with some experience…and another woman who kept hitting the next target over. Got that handled by having her use the other eye. Then she did good. We had a great time. The gun guys [do competition, etc] were so encouraging to the other 3 of us. Then we had a competition and I won….which led to razzing the gun guy that lost to me. lol DH ended up buying me the gun we’d borrowed from our neighbor/instructor….for my anniversary present. 🙂 Still my favorite! 3 days of good book and practical instruction with totally encouraging participants/instructor.
Hunter Safety course in this county is taught by an arrogant buffoon who attempted to direct how I would ‘do things’ and what I ‘couldn’t do’ with my disability. Ack, you win some and lose some. But I aced the written test and passed the shooting part. Never have to see dumbo again. Hmph!
EDC for around our house/doing chores at barnyard…..yeah, living with lions, tigers [coyotes] and bears – oh my! …gotta have protection! Additionally, I always have SAK, usually another knife, bandana, lip balm [fire starter], cig liter, mints, Emergency food bar(s), gum [sinus], tissues [sinus], couple Nuprin [sinus headache], couple Bandaids, mylar sheet-summer/ bivvy sack-winter, keys, whistle [neighbors know], CORDLESS house PHONE [no cell towers], P38 [splinters], folding reader glasses, spotting scope [ID any critters], headlamp/extra batteries, small water/more in vehicle, and in Ziplock in back pocket: Drivers license, CCW card, medicare card, MAP copy of this confusing area to give to frantically lost people. (not kidding)
Plus… XXL dog with harness to assist me if needed – but mostly for Vigilance/Early Warning/Protection.
Most of that would also go ‘in town’ with me too. Plus a lot of other Ebag things to survive trying to get back home again [winter and summer specific].
OldMtWoman ….like to have my tools/equipment handy
