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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
