I wonder how many missing children in the good ol USA wind up overseas as slaves? Especially the young college girls who go missing and are probably not the victim of a parent grab over a custody battle.

It's one of the main reasons I taught my daughter to handle a gun at the age of ten. Now she's 22, engaged and carries a Ruger SP101 DAO .357 magnum in a strongside holster. She has the skills and she has the tactical sense. Now, I'm working on bringing her fiance up to speed, too. His dad is retired Naval Intel. The kid will do just fine.

Thanks for sharing your story. So many woman are raised to be afraid of guns (even if they're the one carrying it!).

They don't consider that a pistol and good instructor, will help them a lot more than any "self defense kickboxing class" than they sign up for.

Commendable. Can she cook too?

This is going to sound bigoted but is not meant to be.
When I first moved to Michigan, I was warned to turn the car around quickly and get out of anywhere the street signs turned to only Arabic. This was 1997. They said my little one's blonde curls are an easy target and girl children have gone into this community and never come back out. A long time (non-white) resident near Dearborn told me this.

Quite a lot of them. I had a fellow reservist who was a cop telling me that in Virginia Beach and down in Florida, white slavers have a lucrative system worked out. The trick is to get a girl to go out on your boat with you. Then get her 12 miles out, into international waters. Then meet at the rendezvous place. Easy as pie.
