This episode is called “Types of Guns and Weapons,” somewhat of an unusual topic for us. It’s going to be a dialogue between Bobbie, who is a woman in this dialogue, and Emmanuel. Let’s get started.

Emmanuel: I come from a long line of military officers and I grew up with all of it. Believe it or not, I learned how to fire pistols and rifles before I was 10 years old, and by the time I was 14, I was a pretty good shot.
