Mother's day idea for your pistol packing momma

Floral bouquet, no way?  Candies and cards, not a chance?  Need something unique yet practical to give mom for her special day?  Check out RPM Gun Shop on Maybank Hwy in Johns Island South Carolina.RPM Gunshop on Johns Island near charleston scWhen I plopped down ten bucks and enrolled in the concealed weapons permit class at RPM Gunshop on Johns Island, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into.  Since a very young age I have been both respectful of and familiar with a variety of guns.  My family has a farm in rural Williamsburg County South Carolina where life necessitates gun ownership for a variety of reasons including sport and self defense.   The weapons class seemed a wonderful way to learn more about guns and the legal aspects of ownership.  The class costs a total of $50 per person and the head instructor is retired police officer Barney Limehouse.  Barney grew up in Charleston and has a wealth of knowledge and entertaining stories that help make the 8 hours fly.  The trip to the range, down a dirt road on a private Johns Island farm complete with a pet mule, is loads of fun.  After shooting 50 rounds of ammo, watching several videos and taking a written exam  we are ready to send off to SLED for our permit.  I'm sure that this gift is not for everyone, but I think it is always best to know as much as you can, about something that could harm you.  You might even find out that shooting is a sport you enjoy, or that exercising your second amendment rights make you a safer citizen.RPM Gunshop on Johns Island near Charleston ScMy class mates and I pile in the truck to ride to the shooting rangeMemorablilia from 15 years of insruction and 20 plus years on the police forceInstructor HB "Barney" Limehouse (left) poses with the author of this blog post
