Progressives have known for a long time, that if significant numbers of women became aware of the utility of firearms for self defense and sport, they have lost the battle, the war, and ultimately their notion of the state as "god".

I have myself noticed many more women at the range and gun shows over the last ten years or so. Finally! $;-)

I have four daughters ranging in age from 35 to 18. They are all interested to various degrees in handguns for personnel protection. How does a 100 lb woman defend herself against a 250 lb guy intent on rape? With an equilizer of at least 9mm!

Saw that line with a pink handled revolver.

Top Ten Reasons
Men Prefer Guns Over Women
#10. You can trade in an old 44 for a new 22 and it doesn’t cost you
your life savings.

#9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you’re on the
road.

#8. If you admire a friend’s gun and tell him so, he’ll probably let you
try it out a few times.

#7. Your primary gun doesn’t mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

#6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

#5. A gun doesn’t take up a lot of closet space..

#4. Guns function normally every day of the month.

#3. A gun doesn’t ask , “Do these new grips make me look fat?”

#2. A gun doesn’t mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the number one reason a gun is favored over a woman....

a single 26-year-old...thinks ownership is a private and personal decision.

As opposed to leaving herself open to murder and rape being a private and personal decision.

Our Glock dealer doesn't have that model in that color. Bummer My 10 year old would love it, I wounder if I can order it in purple.

I think it will be easier to spot the gun stores where they are getting a larger clientelle of women. Look around and see if the number of pink guns are increasing.... : )

I have not seen an uptick in women at my gun club but that is just ancedotal evidence. I hope this article is correct. A gun is a great equalizer and women probably suffer more violent crime against them than men. They need guns for self protection. It’s all good...

LOL!

It will be interesting what women gun owners do when BO and co. decide/try to confiscate guns.

Refinishing a plain old tennifer and black polymer Glock is relatively easy with a product like Lauer Duracoat (there are other brands as well. Protip: Degrease, degrease, degrease...and skip the step of oven baking the paint on the polymer frame. 8^)
