In this case the alternative is all these women voting for ever more gun controls because “ew, firearms icky” and other incorrect concepts of firearms. Education about the reality of firearms leads to less supporters of gun control.
Which do you want? More 2nd Amendment supporters? Or more gun control voters?
Many years ago, I took the NRA womens’personal protection class with my .45 Megastar. Neither the instructor nor her retired Marine husband mentioned that a .45 might be a bit much for a girl. They didn’t want to plant that seed in my head.
They told me later that nobody else had ever showed up with a 45.
An ex had convinced me to buy it. Turns out, he was right. I ended up putting a lot of rounds through that gun and she was very reliable.
After that, everything feels like a toy.
The moral of the story is that having a class specifically for women matters. I just went to another women’s class at our local indoor range. Coming from SoCal, I had no indoor shooting experience and I was rusty.
Instructors love us. We come in with far less ego and no bad habits.
