Guns & Women: A Recipe for Saturday Night
I am going to be getting married in November (for those of you who didn’t already know!). Most people, though, don’t know what type of family I am marrying into. Miriam comes from a family that sits on the border of hickhood. She grew up in what country people reverently call "the sticks" where her neighbors were direct family and a turkey farm.
In this setting there are only a few things to do. Watch TV, work on a farm, get drunk, or shoot guns (hopefully not any of those two at once). I, for the first time, was able to participate in the back country tradition of shooting violent weapons and poor defenseless milk jugs and bowling pins. It was truly an experience. Being the more "civilized" city-boy that I am, I have always been the outsider at family gatherings. I think that taking part in this gun ritual. Check it out:

Dude, you didn’t bring one of those guns back with you right? So, now Democrats shoot guns too?

Isn’t that what you love about me the most?? :) Maybe instead of going to Italy for our honeymoon we could go to the shooting range instead.
