Hundreds of women showed up for free gun training in Detroit, Mich., on Sunday.
The event, which has been held annually for the last six years, saw its best turnout yet. Organizers said about 700 women expressed interest in the training and around 600 attended. The goal, they said, was helping women learn how to protect themselves.
"We teach women how to shoot and discharge a firearm, and a personal protection strategy," Rick Ector, the founder of Legally Armed in Detroit and creator of the event, told the Detroit Free Press. "This is an event to see if owning a gun for personal protection is right for you. If it's not right for you, find some other means of protecting yourself."

Like, say, moving far far away from Detroit.

Understanding the enthusiasm, but I have never understood guys who take girlfriends, wives, or lady friends to gun ranges to teach them how to load and shoot the weapon that is in the house when she suddenly one day thinks he is cheating on her?

While womens’ purses can indeed carry quite a lot, that may be a bit larger than can be conveniently concealed.

A retired police officer and firearms instructor tells women that if a boyfriend or husband is teaching them to shoot, it is a strong indicator that he will not be assaulting her or cheating on her.

Estrogen swings create all kinds of self generated fake news. She only needs to think you might be cheating on her on one of her “I feel fat days”.

Women of Detroit are too often victims. Hope they all arm themselves.

This is a good start. We should have been there with registration forms... asking if they're signed up to vote...of if they'd like a free trial membership in the NRA...
