There’s a growing trend among many women today - they are learning how to fight back and protect themselves against the tremendous increase in violence against them!

Women are taking control of the own destiny by learning self-defense training AND purchasing guns to ensure they don’t become a victim of a violent mugging, physical attack, or worse yet murder. By taking a quality self-defense class, women can learn strong self-defense techniques and tactics to protect and defend themselves against a violent attacker.

Unfortunately, even if you know self-defense tactics what happens when the attacker is a 250 lb madman? You may need a stronger secondary source of protection to save your life. Look at the recent murder of Annie Li, the Yale grad student who was murdered by a co-worker. The person who murdered her was twice her size.

One point to mention - women should make it a habit to always be aware and alert to their surroundings - especially when they are alone. Also be sure to listen to any "gut instincts" that says there is something "wrong" about a situation that just doesn’t feel quite right. Your instincts may be telling you that you’re in a dangerous place - so get out of that situation as quickly as you can!

If you are physically assaulted or attacked, chances are likely that no one will be around to help save you - certainly not the police. Even if you call 911 for help you may get an inept 911 operator who spends more time questioning and talking instead of quickly dispatching the police who may be able to save your life. We’ve all heard these unfortunate 911 horror stories.

Whatever the situation more women are taking control of their own self-defense and making the decision to protect themselves with a gun. If you are one of these women, be sure to keep firearm safety in the forefront and take the necessary firearm safety training. It will help remove some of the fear women may have about carrying a firearm and provide the knowledge needed to operate, handle, clean, and care for the weapon.

After taking the necessary safety training, many women report they join a gun club or association to enhance their skills and to provide a comradere with other women gun owners. Stay safe!

Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!!
