The critical thing is for women to create a “social sanction” for women, that they are expected to be armed and protect and defend themselves when they need to.
Social sanctions are unwritten laws, that are publicly enforced. Every society has them, and they generally differ somewhat from the written law. However, they have “insistent enforcement”, where people are expected to obey those rules. Parents raise their children with them, and those who violate them are punished one way or another.
A typical scene would be in a ladies restroom, where a girl admits that she forgot her gun that day, and another woman offers her a spare. And though a real rationale and purpose exists for carrying a gun, the short answer is that “This is just something that girls and women do.”
It also applies to how they use their gun, that it is not just a decorative accessory, that if they need to use it, they are mentally prepared to use it, and will use it.
While a law might be written, as in Kennesaw, Georgia, that women are required to be armed, a social sanction is more to the point, because it is universally enforced. No waiting for a police officer or government official. Other women just let it be known that not having a gun is like not wearing clothes. Sure, at home it might be okay, but not in public.
i’d like a social sanction for cops not to harass ccw or open carry folks.
also to take pics of a person’s gun used in self defense but letting the victim keep their damn gun instead of disarming them, and not giving them back easily or timely.
