The class, devoted to handguns, drew an overflow crowd. Capt. Phil Cox said about 100 women were turned away because there wasn't enough room.

A group of women overcoming the fear of self-protection that has been drummed into them by the politically correct, the fraud feminists, and tyrannical despots within our own government now are TRULY empowered to send a message to the criminal rapists, thieves, and thugs of Southaven, Mississippi.

I pray that many other communities in our nation will get the message! Go, ladies, go!

"It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by six."

Testify!

The same advice our fab chief gives out, right?

"It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by six."

Amen, Mercuria. This seems a good spot to draw attention to a great self-defense resource here in Massachusetts: AWARE.

AWARE -- an acronym for "Arming Women Against Rape and Endangerment" -- is the premier educational source for firearms and personal self-defense training in Massachusetts (JMHO). Its courses of instruction are recognized by the state for firearms licensing purposes, and also by the NRA for its firearms-instructor certification requirements.

Although AWARE is primarily pitched to "skilling" women in self-defense techniques, its courses are open to everyone. It provides a curriculum that runs the gamut: You'll find regularly scheduled courses in mace training, firearms usage and safety, handgun retention, the projection of just force, hunting skills, personal hand-to-hand self-defense training, and NRA instructor certification training.

They're a great bunch of professionals, dedicated to our system of ordered liberty, and devoted to training citizens in the skillful and safe exercise of their RKBA. All courses are moderately priced, and the value delivered is excellent. (These were the guys that helped me to determine the fact that I'm "cross-dominant" in the vision department for shooting purposes. :^) That was worth the 50 bucks to me right there.)

Girlfriend (or boyfriend as the case may be), if you live in Massachusetts and want to get hip to self-defense, check out AWARE at the above link.

Thanks for the post, Mercuria. best -- bb.

For you ...

The Little Girl and the Wolf

by James Thurber

One afternoon a big wolf waited in a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come along and she was carrying a basket of food.

"Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?" asked the wolf. The little girl said yes, she was.

So the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the wood.

When the little girl opened the door of her grandmother's house she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap and nightgown on.

She had approached no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she saw that it was not her grandmother but the wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look any more like your grandmother than the Metro-Goldwyn lion looks like Calvin Coolidge.

So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf dead.

(Moral: It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be.)

"..."A one-shot stop with a handgun just usually doesn't happen," he said."

That's because people keep buying 9mms.

(Somebody stop me!)

Long told the students to lock their wrists and elbows to direct the recoil through their arms to their bodies.

OOOPS! You generally DON'T wanna do that. Don't lock your elbows, just hold firm and tight.

Other than that, EXCELLENT!!!
