Pop quiz: Name one accessory that grandmothers, moms, girls, wealthy socialites, middle-class females and low-income women might be likely to own — and cherish — all across America.

Based on polling research and gun-sale statistics, an estimated 15 million to 20 million women in the United States own their own firearms.

Awesome - nothing better than a lady who can let the police do their job; take notes and snap pictures after the thug is already facing Judgement.
