CWP....

*** Let me preface this post by saying if you hate guns just skip this post. 

I really love you and don't want you to hate me. ***

Last week, I finally managed to get over to the courthouse {their hours are 8:30-4:30...considering those are my hours too, it doesn't make it easy}. Nope, this time it had nothing to do with my marriage license. I needed to fill out my application for my CWP... yep, my concealed weapons permit. 

I grew up in a house with guns, but I never pictured myself ever getting a CWP... and before my husband?! Okay, well he doesn't really need a CWP, his badge is enough, but I still think it is funny that I will soon* have my CWP and he doesn't {*unless I have some criminal background I don't know about}. 

Saturday, Andy took me by a couple gun stores to look for something compact for me. I left debating between a Smith & Wesson and a Ruger. I did some research {because that's what I do before I make any major purchase... sure normally it's computers and appliances} and decided on the Ruger. Sunday he took me to the gun show {yeah, there's a first time for everything} and we checked out a few other compacts. I stayed with my original pick...

Ruger SR9c

Yep. That baby will be my first gun {and hopefully last?}. I hope I never have to shoot it anywhere but the range... btw, have you ever been shooting? Seriously, if you haven't you should come with us sometime. The first time I went with Andy, I became addicted.

Springfield XDm Compact 9mm

While we shopped for me, Andy fell in love with his next gun... The Springfield XDm Compact 9mm. And when Andy finds a gun he loves, Andy gets it. I'm pretty sure this baby will be a Christmas gift from his awesome mom who realizes that guns are to Andy what shoes and purses are to me.
