Understandably, Susan did what the Sheriff told her to do. To her amazement, when she went to purchase a gun at a local gun and fishing store the salesman gruffly told her, "we don't have guns for girls!" However a muffled voice from the stock room said, "we got in a Lady Smith revolver today . . ." Before he could finish his comment she quickly replied, "I'll take it!" [What happened after that is included in Susan's Women of a Different Caliber story. Email us for a copy.] She made significant changes to the revolver, took training from Kojak, and worked through increasing the odds she would prevail when being stalked for 2 years thereafter. 

Susan continued to pay for the insurance yearly to maintain her special deputy status, and carry her S&W revolver for protection until 1996 when she was required as a civilian to take the 8-hour course and apply for a permit. Susan chose to take her course at the 50 year old business for which she later became a consultant in 1997. Until her job was done there, Susan maintained an office at the business and ran her marketing company and multi-title magazine publishing company simultaneously which is how Susan became known in the industry nationally.

Who knew Susan would open the only range in the country designed specifically for women, their friends and family in 2013. [Family Fun Indoor Range]
