GUN RANGE OUTING
The pandemic has not put a dimmer on our courage
or interest in learning new things and having fun too.
Such being the case, after our February meeting
Carrousel Rhoda booked us a gun safety class
from an outstanding instructor at Top Gun. We
were instructed on properly loading our guns and
headed to the range to learn to properly handle
and use. We’ve got some sharp shooters in the
group as you can see by the targets. Some of us
had never held a gun so it was great for us to learn
about them and not fear them. African American
woman are the fastest growing segment of
responsible gun owners. Carrousel Nakeisha was
gifted a pistol by her Carrafella husband and she was eager to use it for the first time.
Carousel President Twyla let us see that we shouldn't be fooled by the doctor in the white coat, that she knows
how to handle a gun and a stethoscope. We got to experience shooting several different types and brands of
automatic pistols, some with lasers, some without and that was very interesting for us to find out that all pistols
feel and shoot differently and what is best for women to handle safely. It was a blast and we definitely plan to go
again and get better and above all continue to do so safely.
IMPROMPTU FUN, MUSIC, & LAUGHS
Wine, laughter, and song were
the flavors of the night for
Carrousel sisters Audrey, B.J.,
Rhoda, and Twyla as they
enjoyed their evening of fun
listening to live music and
moments of “sister to sister”
catch-up conversations. Neil’s
Music Room was the location
of an impromptu meet up.
