One of my friends, Spencer, on the Heels and Handguns Facebook page pointed me to this video, and it is amazing. I just had to share it. As the cannon in her hands goes off for the first time, Destinee declared, “Hot Damn!” My thoughts exactly.

Well Heeled
Wealthy folks these days might be said to be “well heeled”, but there are a couple other origins of this phrase that are far more in line with the theme of this site:
- Having a heel, or spur.
- Equipped with a weapon
The picture shows Model Olga Kostiantynivna Kurylenko, the Bond Girl in 2008′s “Quantum of Solace”. She is definitely “Well Heeled”, in more ways than one.
Ladies On Target
Just what I want to see – more women in basic pistol training classes! Check these ladies out – The safety class was conducted by Carol Ruh of New River, AZ. She’s been teaching gun safety and marksmanship classes for 12 years. She also shoots competitively, both rifle and pistol, and she’s a trained tactical shooter who has had bodyguard training.
Carol Ruh commented, “It’s amazing how well women do when it comes to hitting the target, and you can see by today’s targets just how accurate women can be, especially those that had never fired a gun before.”
Ruh added an interesting note, the women trained their sights on and fired rounds at traditional bullseye targets, because the NRA doesn’t allow the use of humanoid-shaped silhouette targets or those with pictures of a generic person pointing a pistol back at the shooter. “The NRA is very clear about that,” she said.
This was an NRA sponsored event. Have you taught, or attended any gun training classes as a student? How did it change your perception of guns and your abilities?
A .22 Shopping I Go
I do NOT like to shop. I am too much of a tom-boy for that. I do like a new pair of heels here and there, but I wish they would just appear. The ONLY kind of shopping I do like is GUN shopping! I am going to go .22 shopping this week. I want to get a good, accurate .22 that I can use for fun, and my daughter can use to get comfortable on the range. I am looking at two beautiful weapons now. I would be interested to get your thoughts on these, as well as other options I might consider.
One is the Browning Buckmark series of .22′s.
The other is the Ruger Mark III
