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 wish to prevent women from arming and defending themselves. If you engage in the politics of gun hatred or gun control, you are helping to empower those who rely upon your politics to create a victim-enriched environment.
You can't beat a woman who shoots. No truer words have ever been said by my parents, and they will always ring true to this day.
Freedom of choice includes the right to choose to prevail in a violent encounter. A level playing field is a good start...
