In general, boys regard a girl who can shoot as a prize to be treated well. This is one of the ways I convince younger ladies to learn to shoot.
So try it on her. Think of it as a “dating skill”.
Absolutely. Not only will it attract boys, it will attract the right kind of boys. Men that beat up women do not give their women guns.
When a single woman joins a shooting club, if she wishes to be married, she will be married within two years, usually to a professional who likes guns. Women who like guns and shoot are greatly desired.
That is just my observation, I have no statistics to prove it.
