It has been a big year for Tamika Mallory.
A lifelong social justice activist, she also happens to be one of the four women who created the Facebook event which would eventually become the epic Women's March and later evolve into a movement in and of itself.

ROFLOL that was cute. I believe every abused woman needs gun handling lessons, a CCW permit, and to be able to purchase at a police auction a hand gun she can carry, and taught all the safety issues that go with owning a gun. A piece of paper is no protection at all. A gun is.
Even my near 16 yr old grandson hunts and knows gun safety. As does they 1 approaching 25. The girls don’t seem interested. Rest to young for more than DON’T TOUCH TEACHING.
We have a double lock gun safe for when the grands and G. grands visit. I carry on my hip, not my purse.
