OTOH, given her facility with guns, perhaps those whose advances are unwelcome might consider the following:

LOL! I saw the picture where she is taller then her mom (she looks older) then I saw her age. Yikes! Purge bad thoughts fast!

She is in AZ so hopefully she will grow up and be like another NRA hero and gun owner Sarah Palin.

Maybe she can run for Juan McCain’s seat ASAP.

Ha, she needs to be introduced to Governor Palin’s son, Track. I think he’s about 18 or 19, so, wouldn’t be too old for her once she’s of age.

She started riding horses at age 4 and shot her first firearm at age 6. Now, at age 14, she is a perennial contender in any Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) competition.

FR Saddle Club ping request  :-)

Great magazine cover - looks like an old-fashioned Annie Oakley photo. Love the hat just about to hit the ground!

Indeed....how many other countries and cultures will allow anyone, and a young lady in particular, to rise to such a spectacular level of achievement at such a young age in a sport like this?  Not many, I'll wager.

If I were Track Palin - I would like to meet her (after she turns at least 18).

She would probably be a good governor or Senator for AZ. She sure a lot prettier than Janet Napoltiano, but so is Ernie Borgnine. ;-)

She shoots .45 Ruger cowboy guns? Those babies probably have a kick to them.

Thank you. But I do have to admit that a babe on a horse sure is beautiful! That’s one of the reasons I like watching Texas Tech Red Raiders. That babe dressed like Zorro on the black horse making the “gun” sign. Wow!

Amazing accomplishments for a girl who is only 14! Very impressive...

It seems to me that this image of her and her mother, below, on the left

would be enough...
