But I am not sure why shooting guns keeps coming up. If you are opposed to guns, fine. However, I am record here, multiple times, of suggesting the gun range as a way for LBSs, both MALE AND FEMALE, to go GAL. It has nothing to do with being macho. Or overtly male. Or even Alpha. For me it was the best activity I engaged in for GAL that took my mind off my sitch. .
I disagree. Guns have a certain phallic connotation. You can't deny that. There are lots of activities that will get your mind off your situation - that require absolute concentration, etc. I think guns are equated with manliness by many certain people.
