Good point. Holding the gun in your hand will give you a good idea what feels right. Talking with other ladies or a female salesperson or instructor is invaluable. There are a lot of ladies out there with the same questions. After the election, a lady I know said she wanted to get a gun and a carry license. I was shocked. She never had an interest before. My guess is a lot of women have the same questions now.
My Mom has had a gun for as long as I can remember but it never left the house. She was so apathetic that she actually lost it for about five years when she hid it from us kids and couldn’t remember where she hid it. (She only found it when my brother moved out and it fell out of a chair he was taking with him. lol)
After the election she’s decided to get another gun and get her CC permit, too.
