Every woman should know how to shoot. Women in general are better shots that men because they have better fine muscle control. If you go back in time in America, most women could shoot and shoot well. Think foxes, chicken hawks, and hen houses for an example.
In today’s world “An armed woman is a rapists greatest nightmare.” Teach your daughters to shoot.
It’s infinitely harder to rape a woman when she’s pointing a gun at you.
Pray for America
As a former platoon leader and company commander, I made the following observation, which admittedly is a broad generalization. Many male soldiers came into the Army having some level of exposure to firearms, and while a handful were highly proficient, many had spent their youth reinforcing bad shooting habits, and would come to BRM classes and the qualification range thinking they already knew everything. Most young female soldiers had little to no exposure to firearms, and approached with a degree of alert apprehension, fully willing to listen to every single word their NCOs told them. They were essentially blank slates, had no bad habits, and came to the range (or weaponeer) fully willing to execute precisely as they had been taught.
Again...broad generalities, but enough to make an impression on me.
