Wives Who Carry

Caro said:
I do find it interesting how some women are reluctant to shoot at a man shaped target... but it’s also interesting how, many times, men struggle to shoot at a female threat. There aren’t many female silhouette targets available but I’d bet that it would be a cool experiment. Randomly pop up some bad guy targets then throw a female shaped target in there and observe the timing of hits.

Personally, I think therapy is a good idea for any individual who struggles to stop a threat based on that threat’s gender. There are some real deep seated issues at play there that’s for sure.

As for me, I don’t have a problem with taking down a threat. I will take down Disney characters if they threaten my life. I love Disney but I love myself more than I love them. Male? Female? Mouse? Cinderella? Bashful dwarf? It doesn’t matter to me in the slightest. Pew pew pew.

I was picking up a little gun from the gunsmith today and he got a kick out of my t-shirt. It simply says ‘F&@% around. Find out’.

Aside from all of that, I, like most women, am very nice, sweet, soft, quiet, wonderful, sugar and spice and everything nice.

But...

‘F&@% around. Find out’.

I agree. But, noticed you didn't say roosters or chickens? Oversight? Am teasing! :)

That's really very cool of your wife! You had good reason to be proud of her! Sounds like a good friend and partner too! Am also very glad more women feel comfortable enough to get into shooting sports and self protection now days! Hopefully, it's not all because they may be more afraid?

I don't think there's any question that at least a part of it is exactly because more women are more afraid today ..... but it's also somewhat attributable to simply being more acceptable to society in general. Just think about the number of women in competitive shooting these days, or even those in 'Exhibition' shooting for certain manufacturers.

Yessiree bob, (no pun intended) "The times they a changing"!!!

Completely why so much is happening to the contrary now is another thing though? Thinking some is forced equal rights were there was sometimes no wrong in the 1st place? Not suggesting all was right or wrong, just that two wrongs don't ever make a right. Say the work place for example? Someone who was schooled, trained and knows how to do the work is bypassed while someone else who doesn't know the work is hired because of some sort of affirmative action or warped quota. I understand the intentions were likely good ones, but it sometimes sends warped messages like no child left behind did? Results: It can screw up and skew peoples logic, desire, intention and other attributes like gender, race or whatever all over the place. Personally thinking many people are intentionally confused sometimes like some whacked out college science experiment?

I don’t understand this paragraph. What can screw up a persons logic?

You probably see more women seeking training from that demographic than I did back then. For so many back then it just wasn't 'lady like'. Unlike my wife, who when she married me became interested in guns and shooting to the point that in the mid 80's she was a state champion in 'Hunter Pistol' silhouette in her class. I was pretty danged proud of her too.

So sad about the 25 yr old who was shot possibly by one of her own children. I'm going to say I'm thinking there just might be more to this than meets the eye. If she had 5 kids by the age of 25, it's likely none of them were more than 6-8-9 yrs old at most

Now surely any child who can sit up by themselves can inadvertently fire a handgun. It's just not that easy for a youngster with that small hands to do. Especially to work a DA revolver, or to cock a SA revolver. If the gun was a semi-auto like a 1911, the safety would be pretty hard for a young child to maneuver and fire, especially with a grip safety.

I hope to heaven that it wasn't one of her kids for the kid's sake. And if it wasn't, I hope to hell they find the culprit quickly.

Yup, I was thinking there was something more to the story of the 25 year old but the cops are definitely saying that one of the children shot her. Maybe one of them confessed or the others saw? It’s just sad all around. I know some guns have light triggers and maybe it didn’t have a safety either... which is fine but why wasn’t it locked up. If it was in her purse then it wasn’t 1) on her and 2) wasn’t stored.

Sometimes typical male/female role reversals - how to act, what's expected of who type thing. More women working/ more men staying home with kids? Make more sense now?

Yes, I think it can screw up a persons logic if their logic was unchangeable/set in stone. I know that there are folks who want things to be 100% the way they were, in say, 1950... but I don’t think society will ever go back to the way things were.

Nowadays it’s hard to know exactly what is expected for a typical man and/or a typical woman.

Exactly! Thinking reasoning was right, implementation was off kilter. Thing is am very happy in more ways than not for women and others. A good balance is usually needed to keep anything afloat.
 
Women are now in the Special Forces Community and in control of Nuclear Subs.
Why men say a woman cant handle a firearm or such nonsense, its only because of the woman’s own fears.
Air Force studies have ahown a woman can withstand more G forces than men as well, so technically, all things equal, women make better fighter pilots in a dogfight.

Have seen and experienced that many women are fantastic and great people, friends, partners and workers in many fields. Gender's mostly irrelevant, if have a good gift use it for yourself and others.

In a sort of off the wall thought having good woman, man or person at home in reserve protecting family and home may be best defense sometimes? Like an Ace kicker or jack of all trades? A good spouse usually is. Best, strongest is sometimes held in reserve.
