The Eastern PA Chapters of the Second Amendment Sisters, Inc. and the Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club present the

Second Annual Ladies Day
May 18, 2002

Ladies Day 2001 photoThe Second Annual Ladies Day event will be held on May 18, 2002 at the Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club. For just $25, women can come and try out handguns, shotguns, and rifles. The club will also offer instruction in Archery and Fly-casting. Lunch is free to all all female participants, and only $7.50 for those male friends or family members who just couldn't stand to stay home.

Ladies Day 2001 photoOur first event last year was a huge success, with approximately 80 women in attendance. Margie Fishman was on hand and reported on the event in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Plans are currently underway to top last year's success.

For our second year, we have added a second day of activities. The LPR&GC is situated within minutes of the largest shopping mall complex east of the Mississippi, The Plaza and The Court at King of Prussia. We will have two bus shuttles to the Mall.

But shopping is not your only option on Sunday. You may also attend the NRA's Refuse To Be A Victim seminar on crime prevention and personal safety. This 3-4 hour seminar is only $15 for Ladies Day participants (a $5 savings!) and covers tips and strategies to help you develop your own personal plan of crime prevention. The seminar is open to both men and women.

A third option is also available on Sunday, as the club will be open to the public for Sporting Clays. Further explore your shotgun shooting skills with the LPR&GC's 5-stand course that includes rabbit and Batu targets for just $3.00 a round of 25 shots.

If you go to their web site you see that Giant Food Stores are a contributor. Cool, a local (Allentown, Pa.) store that isn't afraid to support the Bill of Rights.

"No open-toe or high-heel shoes will be permitted." (Second Amendment Sisters)

If this is an NRA "Refuse To Be A Victim" event as it says it is, women need to learn how to defend themselves when wearing typical women's business attire - not when dressed for a muster of the Militia Of Montana.

Far more women are attacked when wearing pumps than when wearing combat or hunting boots. If this is about learning self-protection, it needs to get realistic. Women need to learn that if they are going to wear pumps, half-height ones are just a whole lot more sensible.

GUN REVIEWS free from ad-money bias - emphasizing woman-friendliness of tested guns!

The "Refuse to be a Victim" class is held in whatever clothes the women show up in.

As far as what is covered, the instructor says:

You will get the tools you need to develop your own personal safety strategy, including information on:

  • The Psychology of the Criminal Mind
  • Home & Phone Security
  • Automobile & Travel Security
  • Personal & Technological Security
  • Self-Defense Tools & Training Options
  • And more!
One correction to the page: the link to the NRA "Refuse to be a Victim" page has moved, it's now http://www.nrahq.org/rtbav/safety.asp
