I'd say I'm your average woman, although I'm extremely interested in firearms, primarily old military firearms. Now, I know enough about "new" firearms, and I'm interested in those, but not quite as much as the old military stuff.
I didn't grow up with firearms, and even swore that I'd never have a gun in my house. Now, I own firearms, I enjoy target shooting, and I even dabble in selling firearms. I've seen a lot in the not quite 10 years I've been handling firearms.
More on my thoughts and experiences to follow in the next few days...
