The hand that releases the charging handle...

Let's face it. Women who engage in the shooting sports are great people to be around. They are confident, outgoing and in no way willing to be abused by anyone. Victimization requires a willing victim. Women who arm themselves pose a direct threat to those who select women as an easy target for crime, violence or sexual assault.

Those who target women for abuse rely heavily upon those who seek to prevent women from legally arming themselves. If you engage in the politics of gun hatred, you are helping to empower those who rely upon your politics to create a victim-rich environment.

You can't beat a woman who shoots. No truer words have ever been said.

Freedom of choice includes the right to choose to prevail in a violent encounter. A level playing field is a good start. Life is a contact sport.
