The first time I ever really thghuot about buying a gun was when I was 13 and played Resident Evil. I thghuot shooting zombies with an 870 would be pretty cool. That was back when zombies were simply for geeks. No one else found them entertaining or cared about Dawn of the Dead. It's just like every other geek interest the mainstream has clamped onto and run with in the last ten odd years. It hasn't been cool for a long, long time. Still, if I could pick an apocalypse, I'd go with zombies. Infrastructure will remain largely intact. There won't be any massive climatic change like you'd get with a large scale nuclear exchange or comet/asteroid impact. I live in low population density, so they're not horribly dangerous. It's not one zombie, or even ten, that kills you. It's a hundred zombies.

I'm a big proponent of non-violence and would love to see our socitey rid ourselves of guns altogether. However, given the reality of the prevalence of firearms, I applaud women who learn how to shoot a gun; women need to feel that they can protect themselves and many do not feel they could kill another person to do so. I have yet to go to a shooting range, but would welcome the opportunity (zombies or no). As if you weren't badass already, you are certainly badass now.
