Yeah, well said and nothing to add there as you've nailed it. The sad thing is most people aren't as genuine* them* as they think it should be.. so many external influences that cause a person to act differently and delude themselves.
She's pretty good on the range, I've spent a lot of time making sure she knows what's up and she shoots at a pretty high level. She can strip the guns, clean them and put them back together, troubleshoot them quickly when jams and feed issues happen, is super safe at the range and elsewhere and generally comfortable. She (unfortunately) allows her skills to diminish through lack of practice/range time (shooting skills are perishable) but is whi into find them again and that's what counts.
