Confession: I love doughnuts and am scared of guns. But that’s really being unfair toward guns because I’ve never tried one (and doughnuts and I go way back). I hate being scared of something just because I’ve never tried it, so I’ve always wanted to go to a shooting range. I figured once I understood how to use a gun (just like I understand how to shovel doughnuts down my gullet with not-a-crumb-wasted precision), I would, if not be a fan, know I had nothing to be scared of.
Okay, true that guns can be lethal and doughnuts are comparatively benign (unless given a plate of Duck’s Cosmic Kitchen doughnuts- and then you’re done for). I still felt that guns would be less scary with the proper instruction.
Enter Chloe of Chow Down Atlanta. Not only is she a genius foodie blogger, but she also happens to be a NRA instructor. Chloe introduced Cath and I to our first shooting experience at Quickshot last weekend.
We finished the day off with these (below)- those doughnuts from Duck’s that I mentioned. Seriously, you guys need to come visit us just to try these! And as much as I loved shooting (much less afraid of guns now), I do kind of wish we had more doughnuts than guns around. What a tasty world that would be!

May 21st, 2011 at 12:33 pmI’ve never shot a gun either, and like you I have always been very apprehensive about it. But those doughnuts on the other hand, yea no issues with eating a plate of them, they look delish!
Have a great weekend! xoxo[Reply]

May 21st, 2011 at 1:26 pmGuns are pretty scary, I’ve only shot a rifle once. I went with my boyfriend because his boss wanted to shoot some rounds in the desert. They had all kinds of scary guns, so once was enough for me ever. Doughnuts would definitely make the world a better place instead.

May 21st, 2011 at 1:34 pmI think this is the first time I’ve seen both of you girls with similar poufy hairstyles and now I’m confused! I think Belt-Bag/Jeans combo twin is Lar, because I could never imagine Cath wearing a belt bag, but then again, a Bomber jacket doesn’t seem the tough type of style Feminine Charmer Cath would typically wear.
You two did a good job of making me do a double head scratch this time, but if you took frontal shots, I totally would’ve nailed it.
I think guns are scary, too, but they’re also kind of sexy at the same time. I’m a pretty mean shot (I think it’s because of all the Area51 practice I’ve had)… in combat range, I’d be a total killer.

May 22nd, 2011 at 12:17 amI went to a shooting range once and was definitely less scared of guns afterward. I still prefer they are not in my house, but they are definitely fun to shoot at a range.

The shelves are pretty bare right now, I’ve been lazy uploading lately, but if you click on ‘sold items’ you can get a good idea of what I have in my collection (or hoarding pile, depending on your perspective). and for dude’s stuff it’s at http://whereisthecool.bigcartel.com
