Take the women SHOOTING! Teach them and once they get over any fear, they'll have FUN! Then, use THAT to encourage them buy their own weapons and ammo, thus increasing your total arsenal holdings.

It's interesting you should mention. A couple of years back, we had a couple of VERY liberal women out to the house. We went down the hill and shot the Colt .45 ACP, and AR-15. They had a BLAST and did REALLY well. I "think" it changed their entire perception of firearms and self protection.

One of the problems with that bunch of guys I used to work with is that most of them were to PW'd to stand up to their wives anyway. Ah well... ;-)

One guy even told me that he was trained in some martial art using a short sword. I asked if it was going to help from 25 feet against somebody with a shotgun. The look on his face told me that it would NOT.

Sheesh...you know the saying I'm sure... "Never bring a knife to a gunfight." ;-)

A few years ago, my husband took me to the shooting range as a birthday gift (something I had always wanted to do). I loved it! He recently purchased a 9mm and I want to go back SOON to get comfortable with it. Unfortunately, I am intimidated by rifles and shotguns. I want to learn, but I can barely lift my Husband's 12G and rifles, so I am afraid to shoot them. Any recs on good weapons for a petite woman?

We have a lot of pistols, revolvers, and shotguns. My wife's absolute favorite pistol is her Sig Sauer P232 .380 in stainless. She loves it! And she's a better shot than I am with my 9mm Sig P226.

BTW, we both carry when we think we need to.
