Anyway, With times being what they are in America, there is NO better time for women to learn how to shoot.

I am woman hear me roar!
And don’t forget that brilliant decision to put a sign in your window saying GUN FREE ZONE
Anyway, great article-it should be sent to all of our not-like Sarah Palin lady friends and acquaintance's, they are the ones that need this type of information.
Well done.
I suggest you submit this to your local paper as an editorial article-just maybe someone will print it and some otherwise un-aware person, male or female, will be influenced by it.
God Bless and MOLON LABE!
I remember when there was a serial rapist on the loose in Orlando, FL. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department offered free shooting classes for women and there was a huge turnout. The rapes stopped.

Ah, liberalism - kill babies, but protect criminals above citizens.
Many guys feel a kinship with Sarah. I joined NRA (first time) shortly after hearing of her selection.
(Well most of you anyway!)
Bullseye!
Gender is irrelevant. It's an issue of disparity of force: being attacked because the attacker believes s/he is physically superior. Equalization (or better yet, role reversal) for the underdog is crucial for survival. Thing is, the reality of the disparity may not be obvious - and being chosen for the apparent disparity may result in suffering from an even more extreme actual disparity.
I'm a pretty normal & healthy looking male. If chosen for, say, a mugging it would most likely be because the perp thinks he can at least threaten/cause enough harm to get me to comply (probably via knife or other weapon). Thing is, I'm on blood thinners: if injured to the point of bleeding, I could easily "bleed out" in a hurry. Ergo, if attacked, I have to stop that threat _fast_; playing "scratch him with your keys" or "be a man, use your fists" games doesn't cut it. My "disability" is far from obvious, but that doesn't mean I should do anything less than "extreme prejudice": "adequte defense" isn't enough to satisfactorally prevent that short step to eternity.
As some wag put it, "if you're in a fair fight, you're doing it wrong."

Just remember one thing:
“..if you DON’T carry whenever you can, if you ONLY carry when you think you’re going to be in the “bad” parts of town, or only carry when you “think” you’re going in harm’s way, then you’re playing craps in the dark with the other guy’s loaded dice.”
I’m pinging this guy to your thread so he can learn something. Hope you don’t mind.
It is exciting to know I have control over my own body and life, and I don’t have to live in fear.
Bumper sticker:
Yes, I’m pro-life, I choose to carry a gun...and LIVE.
I bought my first gun last week: a Mossberg Persuader (12 gauge shotgun). I went to a range Thursday to get some instruction on it because I’d never used a shotgun before.
I plan to buy a handgun next. I’ve only shot a .357 revolver, a 9mm Glock, and my ex-BF’s Glock which I believe was a .40 caliber and was pretty powerful. Any recommendations? :-)
In honor of the idiots who actually say this - they are out there - I propose National Helpless Victim Day. Anyone who believes this nonsense can wear a t shirt that proclaims his adherence to the right of the criminal to rob, rape, torture, and murder without encountering any mean - spirited, right - wing, violent resistance. As a further commitment to their cause, they can sign a pledge that they will not prosecute the crimes, since that might also interfere with the criminal's rights.
I will support them enthusiastically in this endeavor. :)
