I bet a lot of the military wives do--that's how I first began shooting; I had a boyfriend who was an Army Ranger a loong time ago in college.  I have two girlfriends that hunt for meat.  Both are liberals, sorry Ken.

I think a lot of the problem is fear of the unknown.  I have taken 2 of my wife's friends (both liberals) to the range with me and both enjoyed themselves and came back with a better appreciation for shooting sports.

Just stick a mini-14 in their hands and let them blast away and you have instant gun nuts. 

I don't kill animals with them though.  I leave that to my girlfriends and hope I can get some meat from them.
