he face of the American gun owner is changing. More women are carrying firearms than ever before.
For years the gun industry has been dominated by men, but that's not the case anymore. You'd be surprised how many women are actually carrying firearms. In fact, permitting officials say one in four women is packing heat.
The fear of violence, protecting family, taking safety into their own hands; just a few reasons why more women are toting pistols. |

| A statistic I, for one, welcome ! Every armed individual - and particularly females - in successful self-defense creates a "halo effect" protecting the unarmed. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
