Thought you guys might get a kick out of this (from Second Amendment Sisters latest newsletter):
What the hell is wrong with women?
No, this is not a rhetorical question. It's a wholesale condemnation of every woman's group in this country that claims to hold women's rights sacred, claims to look out for women's interests and yet condemns guns, shuns armed self-defense and insists on portraying and preserving the status of women as victims rather than empowering them to take responsibility for their own lives. Yes, I realize I'm writing for a women's group. I realize there are literally thousands of women out there who belong to pro Second Amendment rights groups, who hunt, shoot and who have used guns in self-defense. However, strong, independent women who realize the importance of being free to defend yourself against an assailant, who understand that the police will likely not save you in an emergency and who hold dear the freedom to keep and bear arms are a pathetic minority.
Why? ... It appears the majority of women (69 percent, according to an ABC poll conducted in 2002) support stricter gun control laws. They're afraid, they're needy, they're dependent and they're clueless. Why would any woman or women's group claim to have women's best interests at heart, while unilaterally trying to disarm them? And worse yet, why would the women who support these organizations trust these organizations when they clearly have a political agenda in mind?
Well, here are a few clues:
1. Anyone who tries to disarm you and make you dependent on someone else for your safety IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. ...
2. You are not a victim. They want to portray you as weak. They want to render you worthless, mistreated and victimized. They want to portray you as pathetic losers, incapable of taking care of yourselves and your children. ...
3. A piece of paper will not protect you against a violent spouse or boyfriend. ...
4. They want to portray you as to incompetent to use guns for self-defense. They want you to rely on police for your protection. ...
5. No amount of petulant whining, hand wringing and misrepresentation by NOW, Handgun Control Inc, or the Million Morons will make you into a victim. Your support of these political freaks will. Your unquestioning acceptance of their dogma of destruction will. And your lack of self-confidence, self-reliance and self-worth will make you into a willing victim. ...
These supposed women's groups don't care about you. They don't care about your capabilities, your strengths or your will to live. They care about prostrating you at the altar of self-destruction. They care about enslaving you and using your own ignorance as chains to bind you. They claim to work for the equality of the genders, and yet shun the great equalizer - armed self-defense. They assert that the only way to truly protect you is to take away the most effective means of protection available to you. They claim you are just as intelligent, capable and independent as men, but they work to prove you otherwise. In other words: THEY LIE.
Remember that next time you support their obscene cause.

I just checked with Runner's office. They have seventeen ladies signed up for Saturday.
This is the plan: the handgun safety time is 10:00-11:00, then range time til noon for the experienced group (while first-timers receive more instruction). Lunch is provided, then the first-timers have the range.
Thanks for the update. Can't wait! See you there. For victory & freedom!!!
