I regularly see and hear a lot of patronization and marketing that represents and attempts to sell the ‘fun’ aspects of shooting.

That is because they are trying to get women involved before they are in desperate need.

If a women is already involved in shooting and owns guns she is ready when storm clouds gather.

Many years ago my wife was asked by her family why she wanted a gun. Her reply was and is epic: “Because ‘they’ don’t want me to have one.”

We have a younger teenage female relative who is a successful deer hunter, wild turkey hunter and waterfowl huntress.

When I have shown photos of her with her latest kills, the responses from conservative men and women has been positive and often with a “Good she can defend herself!”

Surprisingly, some lib women have said the same re self defense.

I look forward to the day when more women purchase firearms because they were raised around guns and peace through strength is an adequate motivation.

No doubt that women buy firearms for at least *one* of the same reasons that men do...self protection.A right confirmed by SCOTUS in two decisions it handed down a couple of years ago.

"Well regulated militia" my a$$.

I was at the range this morning and met a newly inducted member of the club and his sister. She had just taken her concealed carry class and was doing some practicing. I’m 6’4” and this lady was right up there with me and strong looking to boot. She had her a 10MM Glock too. My kind of babe.

I will just come out and say it:: I do not like pink guns. I do not like any color that some marketing company has come up with to sell “the little ladies” a gun.

Imaginary marketing proposal meeting:
“Hey, I know, let’s make the guns fun colors! Then the ladies will all buy them, cos you know girls are just about coordinating their colors and nothing says “girl” like pink!”

So, the manufacturers are pandering down to us, putting us at the same level we were when we picked out our first Barbie (I never had a Barbie-my brothers would have just decapitated her and we all would have used her for target practice).

The GMs think we’re so stupid, we only consider the color of the gun, not the reason we are purchasing the gun. We (ladies) need to think long and hard about what that gun can do, and what we will do to use it. (hint: you can not shoot just to “wing” someone. You have to be prepared to KILL someone. Hopefully, you’ll take a little time to wrap your head around that before you head off to the gun shop)

Best color for a gun: black. Holders: whatever color you like. Purse: JUST SAY NO TO THE PURSE. If you really really think hard about what your gun can do, there is no way you would want it in something that can be taken from you. On body carry is the best.

Oh, and the other thing I have against pink guns? I’m a breast cancer survivor, so to me pink means something else. It represents a time in my life when I had no control. When I was a victim.

"With domestic violence statistics continuing to rise, we need to address some of these social issues..."

Just say no to drugs and alcohol, and teach the whole family to fire long range.

Nutnfancy was firing junk ammunition through his Savage Axis. It can do much better than that. Something in 7mm-08 with handloads would be nice.

Here's a Savage barrel duct-taped to 2x4 lumber. 1000 yard hits...

Most guys buy them for self-defense, for themselves and family, yet many don’t consider them to have a valid argument.

I purchased firearms because I’m a single woman living in a rural area of a predominately rural county. I have a shotgun and a .22 to keep the fauna at bay, and I have a Ruger pistol because, again, it’s a rural county. The sheriff’s department may have, maybe, three deputies on patrol at any given time. So rather than depend on 911 I really have to depend on 9mm.

WHY? Because little old ladies are helpless against the brutish thugs like Michael Brown.
