Too much temptation...What I don't get...shooting is the one sport where men and women could compete against each other without size, weight and strength giving the entire advantage to the men...
Why hasn't anyone started a combined shooting sport...it might get more attention considering all the other sports have to segregate the sexes...
It's training for when you are.What does a video about target shooting have to do with being attacked?
There are many women only shooting clubs.
Christy Salters Martin is a professional boxer and the owner of a concealed carry permit. But when she attempted to leave her husband, she was shot with her own gun. Today, she cautions other women against making the same mistake. “Just putting a weapon in the woman’s hand is not going to reduce the number of fatalities or gunshot victims that we have. Too many times, their male counterpart or spouse will be able to overpower them and take that gun away.”
A recent meta-analysis concluded what many people already knew: the availability of firearms is a strong risk factor for both homicide and suicide. But the study came to another conclusion that is rarely mentioned in the gun control debate: females are uniquely impacted by the availability of a firearm. Indeed, the study found that women with access to firearms become homicide victims at significantly higher rates than men.
It has long been recognized that higher rates of gun availability correlate with higher rates of female homicide. Women in the United States account for 84 percent of all female firearm victims in the developed world, even though they make up only a third of the developed world’s female population. And within American borders, women die at higher rates from suicide, homicide, and accidental firearm deaths in states where guns are more widely available. This is true even after controlling for factors such as urbanization, alcohol use, education, poverty, and divorce rates.
Having a Gun in the House Doesn t Make a Woman Safer - The Atlantic
First, according to her own testimony at his trial, her husband had a history of physically abusing her and had, for twenty years promised that he would kill her if she left him. So the night she told him she was leaving, why was she still in the house? Why was she alone with him? Why the hell didn’t she have her gun with her instead of leaving it where he could get his hands on it?
Finally, her training wasn’t useless when her husband tried to murder her with a gun, it was useless when he tried to murder her with a knife.
But there is more fail to come:
Before I could react, he assaulted me, stabbing me and leaving me bleeding on the ground, despite my best attempts to fight back. He then stood at my feet, pulled out the gun, aimed at my chest and shot. The weapon was my own pink 9 mm Glock.
But let us, for a moment, play “What if?” What if she hadn’t had a gun? What if her husband hadn’t found it and used it to try to kill her more quickly? How might Christy’s story have differed if all he’d had was a knife? It might have gone something like this:
The assailant entered the room, apparently surprising the victim and assaulted her, stabbing her and leaving her bleeding on the ground, despite her best attempts to fight back. He then stood at her feet, pulled out the knife again, knelt on her chest and slit her throat.
Joe...you didn't print the whole of her story...she was in an abusive relationship with this guy for years...he beat her all the time...without a gun...and when he almost killed her he also had a knife, and left the gun in the room with her, alone when he left the room....she suffers from what most abused women do, a complicated emotional response to her abuser...guns had nothing to do with her situation. As inmost gun murders of family members, the abuse is drug or alcohol fueled, in his case toss in illegal,steroids, and goes on for years...it is the abuse that is the factor in the murder, not the gun...he could have strangled or stabbed her to death in that final,attack...
Okay. But he shot her.
With her own gun.
That she bought for protection.
Okay joe hear is a gun, now go piss yourself.View attachment 33389
