Girls with Guns | Training woman to use an firearm correctly

Sadly, the myth that women are somehow less able or too weak to shoot a powerful handgun exists; it exists in gun stores, on the web or anywhere a woman might go to purchase a firearm or perhaps even within her family or social circles. I was at a gun show and approached one of the vendors to look at the guns he had for sale. The first thing he said to me was "so, you are looking for a smaller, lower calibre handgun that you can handle, right?" I gave him a "look" maybe "stare" is a better word, and walked away.

What we WANT is a gun we can effectively shoot that will do what a gun needs to do.... Stop an attacker in his tracks! What gun is that? Only you can answer that question based on a number of factors, unique to you. The best type, size and calibre of that gun depends on the same factors it would for a man or anyone looking for a gun for self-protection.
