It’s like that saying, “I’d rather be armed and not need it than to need it and not be armed”.

You should see the numbers of females getting their license to carry in Massachusetts. Wether you agree with licensing or not the fact is women are coming out in big numbers. Even on a blue state it would appear that they know what time it is. And they know that by the time someone shows up to help it will most likely be too late. The numbers will always be atleast 6 months behind but they will tell a new story. I applaud women for taking responsibility for their safety. Bravo ladies.

Bless her . She reminds me of my Mom who raised me by herself and taught me so much . Unlike many moms she let me have a BB gun and even gave me a single shot .22 rifle when l was eight years old . I often went shooting and became a pretty good shot . When l came back from the war in the 60's I was good enough to qualify for an Army rifle team at Ft. Benning Ga. That is how l finished out my enlistment . Those were such good times . I really enjoyed the competition. These days I'm mostly into pistol shooting but still have a Remington 700 heavy barrel and a couple of AR's . One in .308 of course . I really enjoy your programs .

💯 agree. Us law abiding concealed carry citizens. ARE the 1st line of defending ourselves.

I'm one of those women who has always had a firearm because my daddy was special forces

Mas my friend, along with being a now-retired Fed, I'm also a former Sr Aviator, US Army type. As an Instructor in that environment as well, I'm reminded by a sign on the desk of Rudi Frasca, of Frasca Flight Simulators. Itsays, "If you think Training is expensive, try IGNORANCE..." Hammer

What you say is exactly what I tell my sister. She owns a few guns and has ccl God bless you

[paulcunningham]

Training needs to be drastically increased, weather private or by the state it needs to be available. The gun or self defense industry needs to step up to this need

I can't believe this is a topic my last 3 girlfriends and my wife have all grown up around firearms and carried them themselves But I do live in the dirty south Georgia and Florida

[cindyrobertson]

I'm in a constitutional carry state Amen, and a range member . I help newbies figure out ( no stress) what kind of firearm suit s them BEFORE the spend money . My everyday carry is a 1911 browning 380. It's easy to slide, clean and simple. .a lot of first time shooters do better with a revolver . Here's why. They are idiot proof. No magazines to load . Extra ammo can be pocketed . No brass to pick up. Our range received a grant.

And my state completely banned “semiautomatic assault weapons” (pistol’s included).. its like they have something against woman and those physical unable protecting themselves.

[williamwinn]

None of it matters if you dont have situational awareness. One thing I'm thankful for growing up in East Boston is the street smarts it gave me. Always be aware of what's going on around you.

Legal firearms are the great equalizer. Any true and honest feminist is 100% in support of the 2nd Amendment.

[patcline]

women gun owners now account for half of alk guns in us

[thebeaz]

So simple, I don't know why I didn't think of it.

[ericschneider]

In the 1800s any person would not go into a town or travel any distance without carrying a firearm. Look at how the government has infringed on our rights. Register and vote in every election. Support your county sheriff.

[gabrielortega]

She's definitely got him beat in the hair dept😂😂😂

[unclemike]

Howdy All ! A armed society is a polite society
