As someone who has taking troops to War (not this candya$$ sh*t that we are now engaged in) I call BS!
When the war kicked in Iraq '03 I took 7 femmes with me into harms way.I had and still have less trouble out of my girls than the 63 guys that were in that outfit. I ended up with 13 femmes by the time it was said and done. I had 5 girls that M-2 machine gunners, 4 as drivers, and the rest were either on M-60's, M-240B, or M-249s. I can guarantee. we had trigger time. We were there for the first 20 months of it. We shot almost everyday for the first half of it...
Never recall seeing the gentle sensibilities of the girls getting bothered by the sh*t they seen...
The only two differences between men and women are the obvious physical differences, and the way YOU treat them. You treat them as you are taught to perceive them.
My !
Glock21,
Maybe I just grew up in a different kind of environment. My families heritage is that of a Scot-Irish clan. We were taught from the time we were young that there is no differences between boys and girls. We were taught that regardless Man or Woman you had best be ready for the worst in life. If one of my female cousins took the my mind to thump on you, you would be best served to defend yourself. Unless you just like to have the h*ll beaten out of you anyway...
I think the problems lie in the fact most young girls grow up believing that they are a weaker, person than the male counterparts... Just my .02.
As far as how many of my "dirty dozen that daily carry outside of the service. It is up to 5. That number is a bit skewed though being that 6 are either based out of Germany or Korea. Were it is prohibited to Carry in the first place.
The only 1 in the States that does not carry is because she lives in NYC and is not politically connected enough to have a Permit... I do know for a fact that when she moves she will be carrying for a fact also...
I don't see a need to start in a small caliber
Hi, a female friend of mine recently had a SD scare and asked me if I would take her to the range some time to get her familer with firearms. While I am by no means a firearms trainer or expert, I know the basics of safety and control, and have taken several first time male shooters to the range.
To get to the point, are there any special considerations that I should have for a first time female shooter? Most guys grow up playing cops and robbers and have a natural interest in guns, but I dont want to make any assumptions and over look some points that we guys take for granted.
I want to make her first trip to the range a positive one, and have her take the first steps to taking control of her own self defense.
Thanks.
Start her out with a CO2 BB gun as most females can't handle the recoil and noise from a full power man's calibre like a 45 acp in a 1911.
Maybe a 9mm would be a good choice then??

Probably a 38 would be better so as to not be so complicated like a semi-auto.
Mah head. It 'sploded.
