More women getting firearms as gifts

[Sockpuppet]

A Hello Kitty gun for Christmas? More women are getting firearms as gifts. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/a-hello-kitty-assault-rifle-for-christmas-more-women-get-gun-gifts--and-love-them/2014/12/23/08b06e42-89fe-11e4-8ff4-fb93129c9c8b_story.html)

Twenty-three percent of American women owned guns in 2011, up from 13 percent in 2005.

This is fantastic news. I think we can all agree that more women need to get involved in the sport, as well as being trained to defend themselves. Let's be honest, they are the superior sex. If it weren't for my wife, I would have been dead by now. Lol. Hell hath no fury like an armed woman scorned.

I've been doing my part. I got a couple of neighbor ladies (a middle aged woman and her elderly mother) interested, helped them buy their guns and have taken them to the range several times to begin training. They just purchased a range membership.

I would love to get my wife interested ... but no chance there. She is dead set against it .. and thinks I have gone off my rocker- LOL.

I think its a great idea!...my wife got her S&W 642 some 20 years ago, a present from me.
