And it's really easy to take your wife and daughters to the range and practice. It can actually be a lot of fun. It can be done, and is being done. I see it all the time these days.
Help them become comfortable and confident with the firearms. It's very important, because you don't want a terrible incident to be the first time they handle the firearms. You want them to be proficient by then. So, get out and shoot. It's fun. Enjoy.
Go to range and learn gun. Check.
Go to apartment and put gun in bedside table. Check.
Go to party at college with girlfriend. Check.
Drink too much with guy I really like. Check.
Pass out and get raped by same guy. Check.
Yeah, the gun was a big ******* help.
Hey, you choose to be unarmed and unprotected. That's your call. But millions of other American women are choosing to arm themselves and be prepared. In fact, i think more & more are deciding to do that.
American gun ranges are now full of women. That wasn't the case a few years ago. But like i said, you make your own decisions in this life. You do what you gotta do, and other women will do what they gotta do.
Everytime I go I see women all over the place......nice change from the 90s when you never saw them there.
Yeah, i think most women have been indoctrinated to believe that guns aren't for them. They've seen it as only being a guy thing. But that's definitely changing. Women are all over gun ranges these day. I see men with their wives and daughters al the time. They really enjoy it. It's fun and it makes them proficient with their firearms.
I mean let's face it, women especially, are hunted by brutal psychopaths 24/7. They really should understand that. They are prey. I think many more are coming to understand that though. More & more women are choosing to defend themselves against the rabid beasts. I think it's great to see.
I have a range about fifteen minutes from my house. I remember years ago (about 20) men used to bring their female friends and family to the range. The men shot up targets and the women were behind the glass watching.
Today there are few behind the glass watching and women are on the range with their men. Years ago we used to walk right in and grab a booth. Today, it's usually an hour or more wait to get a booth, and since that time, other ranges have opened up in the area.
When you keep pushing people, at some point, the people push back; people who are sick of reading stories of helpless people being robbed, beaten or killed knowing that it could have been prevented.
I never shot a gun in my life until my apartment was broken into, and I knew the people that did it. These were dangerous desperate people. So I bought a gun off the father of a friend of mine. The people that broke into my home thought I didn't know it was them, so I played the game. I told them I was going to wait for the MF"s who broke into my apartment to return, and when they do (pulling out my new gun) I'm going to get even.
They left and never came back.
