As a father whose daughter has had serious professional training with shotguns and handguns and personal defense, I can tell you it warms my heart just to think about it.

Want crime to go down? More scumbags shot by women would be a good start.

When the bad guys have to stop and wonder if their intended [female] victim is carrying..........

Rifles today,
Cannons tomorrow

“During the Battle at Fort Washington on November 16, 1776, Corbin went with her husband onto the battlefield. Her husband was a matross, which meant he loaded the cannon. Corbin helped him with this task. After her husband’s partner was killed, he took over firing the cannon, and Corbin began loading the cannon. Her husband was also killed, but Corbin continued firing the cannon alone. Other soldiers took notice of her excellent aim. Unfortunately, so did the British who were soon targeting her with their own cannons. The British eventually won this battle but Corbin’s cannon was the last one to stop firing.

Corbin was later found in critical condition She was wounded with three musket balls and grapeshot. Her jaw and chest were damaged and her left arm was almost severed. She was unable to use her left arm for the rest of her life. After she recovered, Corbin joined the Invalid Regiment at West Point. Here, she performed many helpful tasks such as cooking and laundry with the other wounded soldiers.
Margaret Cochran Corbin (1751-1800)

I have never heard of a girl’s, not woman’s shooting club.

I would think there is a pressing need for even young girls to become just as proficient with guns as boys.

Importantly, between the movies ‘Brave’ and ‘The Hunger Games’, a lot of girls have shown interest in archery. And while that is great, they really do need to learn about and practice with guns.

Culturally, the idea is to overcome the notion that girls shouldn’t have or use guns, which is a bad, or even lethal idea. Guns are important now and will likely be even more important in the future.

Feminism is all about being a victim. Being an armed woman is all about not being a victim.
