I can't say my 17 year daughter has been much into guns over the years. Don't get me wrong having two daughters each one of them have been around guns since they were born.
They are knowledgeable with gun safety and have shot just about everything I own. My oldest isn't a hunter but on occasion she will do some target shooting with me but it has been far less over the past few year.
Two weeks ago I added a Glock 27 and when I went out to shoot it she followed and asked if she could try it. She didn't like it very well because it does have a little bit of a kick for a heavy weight compact. But in any event I was happy she had some interest that day.
After dinner tonight I asked her if she wanted to shoot the Sig 380 and she said just so it isn't the Glock. I was feeling pretty happy because like I said as she got older she has more girl interests and gun haven't been part of of those.
I took a few boxes of lead reloads and we went outside to do a little target shooting. After she shot two 7 round magazines she looked at me and asked, "Dad can I have this gun?" Without a hesitation I said yes when she gets to the legal age I would give it to her.
She said it was fun to shoot and that she could target shoot with this all day. I will miss my stainless steel Sig 380 but having my daughter start to get her interest back towards shooting was priceless tonight.
In addition I was proud that she remember all the safety rules that went along with shooting since it has been a few years since we last really shot together. She even remembered to go and get her safety glasses without me telling her.
