A local women’s-only conceal-to-carry gun course uses a real hands-on method to instill confidence in each student’s ability to handle confrontation, by keeping in mind a weapon is a the last resort. Dr. Lisa Orick-Martinez, communication studies professor and faculty advisor at Central New Mexico Community College, said she began instructing this course as a way to teach women the correct way to handle a weapon. “When I was younger, my older brother said, ‘You’ve got to have a handgun, you have to know how to shoot it, and you got to know how to protect yourself,’” Orick-Martinez said.

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
