STRICTLY "Real" Girls and Guns Pic Thread NO MODELS

[PowerPM]

Yes, it is a Tai Chi sword.

Thanks for the compliments! Photography is a hobby of mine, so it's really cool to me when i age a "professional looking" shot.

Are you sure you shouldn't be posting these in the gun babe models thread... Sheesh, if I counted all the pics she would be classified as a model....

Great pics anyway!

Ps- please keep any "you shouldn't shoot while pregnant" comments to yourself. OBGYN okayed it & I still was only shooting a .22 with subsonic ammo

Nice photo, thank you for sharing.

Though after reading your comment, I had to look again, because I didn't notice you were pregnant at first glance.

As far as shooting while pregnant? I'd think just walking down the street would be about 20x more dangerous to you than what you were doing! Glad you were able to keep doing what you enjoyed.

"Nesting" is what you do when preparing for the arrival of a little one.
I think you did a fine job.

Thats what we call gettin'em started early

Our OBGYN had the same feelings and we went to the range a few times during the pregnancy.

My middle daughter came shooting with her husband and myself while she was pregnant with her oldest. Every time we fired one of the center fire guns she could feel the baby twitch or kick. He is almost four years old now, and loves guns.

You should get some glasses though.

Please excuse not having glasses, I don't know why at this very moment I didn't have them on, but am typically very good about my safety meaasures. Yes it was the back door, we have a range at the end of our yard (with legal backstop) & we tend to try shots all the way from the back door, or out a window. I've actually come home to G23Neverjams shooting from the tub, straight out the bathroom door, & directly out the back door lol. Was very happy to hear that I was still able to shoot, I was so nervous walking into the OBGYN that day & when she said I wouldn't have to wait to shoot again, I was one relieved pregnant lady
on a side note, baby will be taught early & often about safety measures with firearms. He is now almost 9 months old & got his first toy gun for christmas though all he wants to do is chew on it :/ lol

It's the lead that doctors and moms should be concerned with. As long as you are either outdoors, or in a well-ventilated range, you should be ok. Also, nol picking up brass for reloads. Even small amounts of lead could possible affect that small life within. I know adult shooters who have had lead levels rise, but they were shooting mostly lead reloads.

That makes sense. Luckily at 8.5 months pregnant I was way to lazy to go search the yard for brass lol after a long 15 minutes of standing & shooting, I wanted nothing more than a couch & a root beer float.
