Has anyone every had someone go shooting for the first time and NOT like it? My wife spent years in fear of my guns, wouldn't even be in the same room with a disassembled gun, and after she went shooting the first time I couldn't get her to calm down. She just kept going on about how much fun she had! Kept putting the paper plate in front of me and showing how well she shot.
Has anyone had someone that came away from their first time and said, "Never again."?

I haven't gotten my wife out shooting with me, but she says her father took her shooting. She's absolutely terrified about guns, and will not touch a gun (but doesn't complain too much about me with the ones I inherited when my dad passed and the 2 I've purchased).
I have a feeling her dad gave her something that was way too big for her, and didn't warn her about the kick (yes, he can be a bit of an ass).

Last time I went home to visit family, I took a couple various weapons. I had my younger sister shoot (who was totally anti-firearms). I talked to her calmly, had her dry fire, then put in 1 round. She was like .. WOW ..
Now my step-dad on the other hand .. yes .. he did not like it at all. I did not make fun of him or degrade him or anything .. firearms are not for everyone.

Disregard I looked it up. They submit records to the NSP.

Somewhat the reason my wife was so scared of firearms. Apparently her grandparents used to own a skeet/trap range here in Omaha and her mother, who was working the line there at the time, was nearly shot by a careless idiot who forgot his shotgun was still loaded.
Take your time and work with her gently and she will come around. 5 years after I got my first gun she got her CCW.

Ehh, I've been trying. Recently, her sister's boyfriend was selling his Glock 17, so we went over to look at it (I ended up purchasing it from him). She was asking questions (don't know where she learned that a Glock doesn't have an external safety, but she was asking if it was ok "that it doesn't have a safety on it"). I had no magazine in, tried to get her to hold the gun, and she wouldn't even do that. She gets really freaked out by guns in general.
Now, on a positive note, she is not complaining that I will be taking a class so I can obtain my CCW (the reason I was looking at the Glock 17 in the first place), so she is really slowly coming around.
