gHarmony?

Chatting with Sis G. at my folks on Mother's Day, she was lamenting being "a single person in a couples' world" (whatev. She's hearing her biological clock ticking). I joked with her that she ought to come to the range with me if she wanted to find a date, on the basis that:
  • The ratio is about 1,000:1 male:female at the range;
  • Any potential suitor she'd find at the gun range would most likely have expendable income; and
  • Any guy she'd meet there wouldn't have a criminal record...

She looked like she was thinking about it, too...

That is all.

PS: She *is* available. The only drawback is you've gotta get by me, first. I can be bribed with ammo, though...

My brothers just beat up any guys that showed interest in me.

At the range though, Miss America could walk in naked with a $100 bill taped to her forehead and a lot of guys wouldn't notice. Send a regular gal in with a sign that says "I have PRIMER" and there would be stampede to talk to her.

knitalot3,

Heh. I reserve the right to vet all potential boyfriend material.

I also reserve the right to add an "n" to that as well...

Brigid,

I never actually beat anybody up, but there were more than a handful of young men who came to the door and immediately left emptyhanded...

And heh...

[mental note: mopar is on the good list, if he's more interested in primers...]

Jay,

If the gHarmony gig doesn't work out for you, I can consult & help you get gDate up and running. Perhaps you've heard of the online dating service JDATE -- especially for members of The Tribe? Just saying . . .

Sorry Brigid, not at our range.She's somewhat younger than most of us but she would get noticed. Now Mrs. America might be a better choice but maybe not - I've seen pictures and they are nice too.

You'd put any girl with " ammo and primers " taped to the forehead or shirt at a range or show and just about anybody would bite!

I thought about mentioning my case of XM193, and then I read the quips about primers, etc. Thanks for bringing me back to reality, guys! LOL.

Jay, at least half my fights in high school were keeping dingleberries away from my little sister. I salute you, sir.

Tape "Ammo and primers" to her chest and everyone will assume they're fake, given the current climate....

She's my *sister*, AD - I wouldn't have the faintest idea if she's hot...

Jay G, you forget that he's from Louisiana, they know that stuff down there. :)

Way to go, bro!
Pimpin' the sister at the range. I'm sure your screening exam would be entertaining (can you field strip a 1911?)

Jay, first I think it's probably easier to find a date then it is to find 1000 primers these days. Second I am already married to a gunny.
Third, she owns more guns then I do. :)

One of our first conversations went like this:
Future wife: I uhm, err, own a few guns. Does that bother you? (keep in mind I lived in the People's Republik of New Jersey at the time, and she's originally from Pennsyltucky)
Me: Define few?
FW: Uhm, err, a few shotguns......a few rifles.....and a few handguns? Is that OK?
Me: Will you marry me?
