Excellent read.... especially from Seattle....

Not just an act of self-defense or an act in defense of civilization, but an act of civilization.
This is true for men and it is even more true for women. For a woman to bear personal arms means that she will not be deprived of her legal rights: to go any lawful place she pleases at any time; to be free in her body, meaning that she need not be defenseless against assailants; to live. And it means that the uncivilized, those who would deprive her of life and the liberties of a free citizen, including freedom from unwanted sexual contact, do so at absolute risk to their lives.

I like the comment quotes
"God created all men [and women], but Sam Colt made them equal."
"Nobody ever raped a .45 ACP."

haha

A handgun is not magic.

That was a good read, Jay. I really loved the quoted line. I know a few men and women who own guns but have never fired them, let alone take a class or have someone show them how to shoot. It is a false source of protection if you don't know how to use it.

It's been my experience that women are by far, the largest part of my classes.... by about 75%. It's good to see, from a defensive standpoint, but more and more of them have joined the club and have become avid recreational shooters..... hooray for them...

Or are not willing to use it.
I know a few people who have talked about getting a firearm, but I question their resolve.
A firearm, in my opinion, can make a situation MUCH worse, if a person were to brandish a firearm, and not be ready to follow through.

Awesome link, thanks for sharing!

A handgun is simply the single best means for a woman to defend herself. Tell me again why this is controversial.

Love that quote.
