Nice article on women & guns

I don't think this is a dupe... not certain that anyone else here ever would have clicked a link to Elle haha It came up in the sidebar of my gmail.

Might go a ways towards getting a non-shooting wife or girlfriend to come along to the range at least once?

"To my mind, guns were verboten, menacing, violent. They were unpredictable contraptions beloved of white supremacists or paranoid meth heads in creepy desert hideouts."

Where have I heard that before? oh yea, its coming back to me. President whats-his-face.

My wife gets mad at me when I go to the shooting range without her. By this week, she'll get to try the AR and 12gauge.

Awesome article. I finally had the chance over the holidays to take one of my best friends shooting for her first time. And had my gun-toting, competitive shooting sister come along for support and so my friend could get instruction from another girl. Needless to say, she loved it and was REALLY good! Started out with a .22 pistol, once she felt comfortable with that, we let her shoot my sis's 1911 9mm(which she couldn't get enough off) Then on to a .22 rifle, and then AR15. She's beautiful and now she loves shooting. I win.

Mentioned article should be required reading for every college age female.

Just saw this.

The concept of the normalcy and usefulness of guns is steadily infiltrating the culture on all fronts...


Excellent.

Good read here! Thanks for posting it.

Perhaps more of us can help distribute this article so more anti's can read it.

One of the most important things we can do is listen closely to understand the dynamics of the "anti-mind", and this woman discusses many issues which are common to those who oppose/fear firearms.

She didn't make it all the way back to Kansas, but at least she's looking down at her ruby red slippers now!

Good read. Not thread jacking but here is a link to a news letter about one of our Junior Shooters. http://www.dock.net/ovgc/jrnews.pdf

To those who say there is nothing we can do. This is what we do.

"It occurred to me that maybe my ignorance about guns was itself dangerous."
