Becky's gotta gun!

SO, I'm at work the other day and this guy asks me if I've ever shot a gun before. I'm like, "of course, I'm from Texas"(funny thing.. I think I've shot a gun once in Texas and the rest of the time it's been in Utah). He replies, "What kind of gun?"... "oh a 22 and a hand gun". So he now wants to show me something. We walk over to this large and in charge safe. He opens it up and he's got enough guns to pack a small army. Okay so maybe that's an exaggeration but there were a lot. Very unique ones that you usually don't see or at least that I've never seen before. I think they got a kick out of it because I thought it was the coolest thing. They were surprised because "most girls don't like guns". I typically don't like guns but happened to be fascinated with his collection. For example, he had me hold a gun that was designed by and belonged to John Wayne. He designed the trigger rest to be much larger for his big hands to fit/rest comfortably. The craftsmanship was pretty remarkable and the little details gave it a lot of character. I held a gun that was used during the civil war (awesome!) as well as a sniper that he designed and an m-18 (not to be confused with the m-16) and showed me a belt full of bullets that date back to the 1800's.

Some of you are probably thinking what does this girl do for work?! Marketing. Not for guns, just doctors!
