Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer. I have just come home after about an hour at an indoor range here in Katy, Texas. I just wanted to say that I am the happiest I’ve ever been in years and I am very proud of myself.

Today was my first time getting behind a gun in decades and being around a firearm in general since I was forced to defend my family (alone) from a gunman who opened fire on me, my immediate family, a police officer, and other persons involved.

This incident changed my world at such a young age to where I could no longer function in public. However, today that has finally changed.

After so many years, I have finally gained enough mental and emotional fortitude to pick up the XD-S pistol that was gifted to me years ago and shoot it for the first time.

Yes, I did cry at first from the overwhelming smell, sound, and memory of gunshots. However, I made it through and found the courage to keep going long enough to be steady in my aim.

So, I want to just pass on good wishes and encourage anyone who is struggling to just keep going and keep doing what you love.

Welcome to the forum from rural Missouri.

I see HKs in your future.

I was thinking the same. You have to own an HK if you want to get anywhere on the Springfield forum!
