I have not read them. Thanks for the info. I do actually train a fair amount of women. I had four last week in private range sessions. One was an 85 year old lady. I was kind of nervous watching her hobble into the range wondering if she would be able to safely control the gun. I use a Sig Mosquito for training and I had her hitting bulls eyes 4-6 out of ten shots in single action with the rest of the mag being nicely grouped within a half hour. After that we moved on to her J frame which she had just purchased and that didn't go quite as well but she could put everything on paper at 20 feet with it. I really enjoyed it when she expressed her sincere gratitude for making her feel safe and able to defend herself. It really doesn't feel like work when you love the job.

I'm a member of this forum. This is a topic I like to discuss. What other reasons would you need?

In the US advocating the carry and use of guns by ordinary citizens is both political and controversal and leads to differences of opinions on www forums, regardless of state and federal laws.

The sherriff should be more concerned about the laws in his state than trying to arm women. If what they are saying about this man is true he should have been locked up a long time ago. The sherriff shouldn't be pushing vigilante justice.

Default Jimmy Hoffa's 'take out' special endorsed by obama

Jimmy Hoffa has sent his thugs to 'take us out' and the president of the USA has endorsed his message.

The president of the USA has encouraged certain demographics to, 'punish your enemies' in his attempt to divide Americans and begin a strategy of class warfare.

The propaganda machine media luminaries have endorsed the riotous and violent behavior of the Wall St Pros. Flash mobs attack innocent bystanders. Gangs are proliferating in our cities under the protection of civil rights. The USAG is arming drug cartels and blaming the flow of guns on lax US firearm laws.

He is not suggesting that people go out looking for bad situations, just that you should be able to defend yourself. Certainly, the use of a firearm should be a last resort. No one (I hope) wants to have to shoot someone, just that we should have the option if it is necessary.

I tought my lady to put 5 out of 7 on a pie plate at 25 ft. Good enough.

I also told her to keep shooting until the assailant(s) stop being a threat.

He's pushing self defense- not vigilante justice

Do you have a problem with women defending themselves from rapists as this sheriff has suggested?

You too have difficulty discerning self-defense from vigilante justice? Seriously? Do you think women should just be victims and await the day in court instead of defending themselves against a rapist? If so, that is pretty twisted and one has to wonder why. Misogyny perhaps?

God made man and woman, Sam Colt made the equal.

I believe in winning the hearts and minds of those intent on using lethal force illegally to cause harm to the innocent: two to the heart and one to the mind.

YMMV
