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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
