Yes...women are probably the fastest growing population of new gun owners.....the left is sad because they like victims......these women don't want to be victims anymore....

Women Continue to Drive America's Gunsurgency

In a meandering post, Rich Duprey (aka: the Fool) claims to have found “strong evidence indicating women are taking an interest in firearm ownership”.

WOW, you don’t say.

Females have consistently comprised the fastest growing segment of the shooting sports industry for year. The facts speak for themselves:

• Between 2001 and 2013, women involved in target shooting grew from 3.3 million to 5.3 million.
• During the same period, the number of female hunters grew from 1.3 million to 3.3 million.
• 56% of women reported they owned at least one gun, which was also likely to be a semiautomatic handgun (a shotgun was second).
• Gun retailers estimate 20% of their sales are to women.
• 73% of all women gun owners have taken a firearms safety course.

Meanwhile, the Pew Research Center reported a 9 point increase in the number of women supporting gun rights over gun control from 2008 to 2012. The number of concealed carry permits for women has jumped 270% since 2007. While these stats come as no shock to those of us in the firearms industry, it’s about time we start seeing it from the “fools” in main-stream media outlets.

From CNN Money’s Aaron Smith report on how Women are Reshaping the Gun Industry, to Cosmopolitan magazine’s bold declaration that Concealed Carry Purses are the New Hermès Birkins, gun-toting women are finally seeing the spotlight, and it’s no wonder people are taking notice. According to the NSSF, women purchasing a gun in the last 12 months spent on average $870 on firearms and more than $400 on accessories.

Good to know they don't believe the lie that a gun owner is more likely to shoot themselves or a loved one. Could be the only people who believe that BS are radical leftists.

Worry is why people buy a gun, and it's a mistake.

Except for this woman..

Police: Woman Shot Intruder 9 Times In Self Defense

The woman was getting out of the shower when she was met by a strange man with a kitchen knife, police said. They said there was a struggle in the bathroom, and she fell in the tub. Police later identified the man as Israel Perez Puentes, a Cuban national who lived in Alpharetta.

"The male was armed with a kitchen knife, a struggle ensued between the two of them. She fell in the bathtub injuring herself," Gwinnett police spokesman Edwin Ritter said.

The woman tried to fight the man off with a shower a rod, and he forced her into her bedroom, police said. They said she told her attacker she had money in the room. But she grabbed a .22-caliber handgun and shot the man nine times, police said.

Police said the man ran out of a back door and collapsed in the yard. He later died at the Gwinnett Medical Center. The victim, who was injured in the scuffle, was also taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Police have not released her name.

Police told Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh they don't know why the woman was targeted.

"He may have seen her somewhere and he identified her as being a potential victim and he basically stalked her until he found the right moment to act on it," said Ritter.

"Our department is looking into any other cases around metro atlanta area as well as our jurisdiction to see if he may be involved with any other sexual assaults that may have occurred."

Dan Tucker, a friend and neighbor, said he was amazed at how the victim defended herself against the armed intruder.

"She's smart, she's witty and obviously well prepared," Tucker said.

Ritter said the shooting investigation was ongoing but defended the victim, saying the shooting appeared to be justified, and that she acted in self-defense. He said there are no plans to charge her.

Always exceptions, he wasn't a good whatever, and exceptions are all you have. Guns aren't fond of the shower.

No....you anti gunners...all you guys have are the exceptions.....I have 40 years of research on the topic of self defense with guns.......and all of the statistics from that research, all of the research from the CDC and the FBI show that you don't know what the f**k you are talking about......

The truth, facts and reality do not support one thing you claim....you have nothing.....not one stat backs up your claims...

So then you move on to lies and emotion to push gun control....

My claim? 30,000 plus dead bodies a year. Spin that, and you will.

No. The only mistake is those buying guns and not knowing how to use them.

The gun is the tool. The person using it is the weapon and that weapon should know gun safety inside and out.

People buy guns for protection. My favored form of that protection is the shotgun. Anyone breaking into my house will meet that shotgun up close and personal.

I will never be a victim. How bout you??
