    Glad to see the uptick in their female demographics. I don't understand why it still seems weird to the general public for a woman to be a natural participant in shooting sports. I don't compete - yet - but I love watching the 3 gun matches! The more I see the more I want to give it a go...

    I still get teased by my friends about being a 'pistol packing momma'. Funny thing is, they are the same gals who ask me questions about pistols or about carrying or about a LTCH. They don't know I have one on me unless it comes up in conversation and I have to point it out - smh. [sigh] They will all come around eventually...

    Media has created the "helpless" female. And now the helpless male.
    Tell them about the settlers. Women didn't sit back helplessly.

    I love seeing females get into guns, and even more than "getting into" them is when they make it their own thing... They aren't just carrying a gun or buying a couple. But they are going to the range on their own, really diving into "gun culture" and becoming huge second amendment advocates! I love that! We as americans, and we as gun owners need them! The more die hard gun lovers the better!
