Here are a few stupid myths that I see thrown around when it comes to women and Concealed Carry for self-defense.
Women Shouldn’t Carry
This is probably the worst myth of the bunch, the idea that women shouldn’t carry a firearm at all in case it is taken from her by an attacker and turned upon her. This is the argument often used by anti-gunners when talking about allowing things like campus carry (Campuses are one of the most dangerous places for women to be due to the exceptionally high sexual assault numbers). |

| This is very unreal. As a member of a local gun club, every year we sponsor a "Ladies Day" Any woman can come and be trained on how to handle a pistol, high power/low power, and shotgun. Each participant is paired with an experience coach. We have a good cross section of participants. Considering what I saw after just a short day of experience, I would not like to go against any of these ladies if they were armed. They were not afraid of the weapons, and they were very accurate. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
