In possibly the most unexpected plot twist in Verge history, Lisa casually announces she's been learning to shoot. Yes, you read that right. Our self-proclaimed non-violent, walk-away-loving host has discovered she has a damn good eye for an air rifle, and she's not mad about it. From accidentally loving target practice to navigating Australia's (thankfully) strict gun laws, Lisa takes us through her journey from suburban soccer mum to certified firearm safety graduate. Spoiler: there are A LOT of dick jokes at gun safety school, and absolutely no one else was laughing.Key Points DiscussedThe Great Gun Reveal: How an ex-partner's "quirky hobby" led to Lisa discovering her hidden marksmanship skills (and why she's keeping it as a potential zombie apocalypse/self-sufficient living skill)Legally Blonde Goes to Gun School: Lisa's hilariously awkward three-hour firearm safety course where she was the only one not wearing camo, took eight pages of notes, and definitely didn't fit in with the pig-hunting enthusiastsEverything's A Penis: The unintentional comedy of gun terminology (shafts, cocks, butts, and loads) that had Lisa internally dying while everyone else stayed deadly seriousAustralia's Gun Laws FTW: Why we should all be grateful for bolted steel safes, double locks, random police checks, and the fact you can't just Amazon Prime a firearmTo Gun or Not to Gun: Lisa weighs up whether to go full license and gun ownership, or just keep it as a "fun weekend at the range" skill (her kids are voting hard no on house guns)The Verge Philosophy: If I wanted to, could I? Because skilling up isn't just about the end times, it's about that dream of ditching it all for yurt life. And who knows, we might need a gun for that. Links & ResourcesVisit us at theverge.lifeFollow us on Instagram: @thevergelifeCould YOU shoot a zombie if you had to? Asking for a Vergen friend.
