I've been doing firearms training for a while and in so doing learned a few things along the way. In no particular order, they are listed as the following:
If you use the terms clip and bullet in the wrong context when talking about a pistol, you lack basic firearm knowledge.
Neophyte men students are just as unknowledgeable about guns as women; they fake it well.
New women students tend to shoot better than their male counterparts; they pay attention.
Women usually score higher score on the gun safety examination; guys already know it all.
If you are not used to shooting, the gun will get heavy and you'll get a tightened sensation in the chest and shoulders area.
If you are a woman wearing a shirt with a plunging neck line, a hot cartridge casing will lodge itself into your bra.
Shooting accurately is a depreciable skill that must be continually practiced.
A student will not be a gunslinger after one firearm safety class.
Some students are "naturals" at shooting. It's a great feeling to see someone discover an unknown talent.
A lot of what you see in the movies and on TV about guns is a bunch of BS.
A person who brags about being able to shoot accurately usually has trouble proving it.
There is no such thing as a "ladies gun."
Older guy shooters tend to favor revolvers and need to be watched to ensure they don't get their thumb cut behind the slide of an autoloader.
"All-Ladies Classes" are a marketing gimmick. They key is to take a class with a credentialled, qualified, and knowledgeable instructor.
