Women and Firearms
 

Based on polling research and gun-sale statistics, an estimated 15 million to 20 million women in the United States own their own firearms.

are you one of them ...???

Re: Women and Firearms
 

I don't own one now, but I am getting one (just a .22 for unwanted critters). I got my first gun from my dad for my 13th birthday. A few of my lady friends have concealed weapon permits and do own/carry handguns. One of them tried to get me to get mine this summer but I have no desire to.....yet. I know a few that also hunt. My 72-yr-old step-mom packs (and has another one under her pillow :eek:).

I keep trying to get Mrs Bill interested but I'm not having much luck. That might be more to do with the fact that the restroom facilities at my gun club are a bit too rustic for her. When the new clubhouse is finished I might get her to spend a day at the range.

Just picked up my concealed handgun license last month.

Nice boots, but is she blind in one eye or something?

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Frack! Women with guns? I served with a few in my RAF days - scary - in a comforting kind of way and yes, I'm getting therapy!! :p

Re: Women and Firearms
 

And she likes to hunt in full make-up, I'm sure the animals appreciate the effort ;)

Re: Women and Firearms
 

yes

Re: Women and Firearms
 

My wife is considering a concealed weapons permit as she travels in some remote rural areas. She will have a revolver with 2 rounds of varmit shot to hurt but not severely injure then 4 hollow points. We had a woman from the USDA round who had a "carry permit" for the same reason.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

And i'm not interested in any of them. I like feminine women, always have, always will. If she's wearing Camo, I don't see her.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Androgynous women are hot too, though

Re: Women and Firearms
 

What you do and what you are, not the same............

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Exactly :thumbup:

Re: Women and Firearms
 

I could not see myself with a woman that would want to do that.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

own a weapon? dress in cammies?

Re: Women and Firearms
 

... and that's probably why she chose to wear camo in the first place - to be left alone....

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Have a bigger barrel than him?

:eek::eek::eek:

Re: Women and Firearms
 

I hunt because I like meat and every August we have to go to the range and sight in a guns, and it's just a job. It's not fun.

Unless you are shooting an animal, shooting is not fun and I have to really wonder about a woman that thinks it is.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Well, many people do it to stay sharp for when they do hunt. And yes, I have been hunting ..... grew up with it as daddio owns a gun/hunting shop since I was 10 and I'm now 40-50. Plus it's a sport just like archery is ...what's wrong with that? I do not hunt presently nor shoot for fun....I shoot to kill (varmints that is:))

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Who said anything about hunting, and why is it okay for a man to hunt and a woman can't?

Re: Women and Firearms
 

If you want to throw some fuel on the fire watch the "girls and Desert Eagles don't mix" clip on youtube. Be warned the guy's T shirt is offensive. He is supposedly a Texan others just called him a moron.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

They can hunt all they want, they can lift all the weights they want too but it's not very lady like in my opinion.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Just curious, what is ladylike in your opinion? Shoe on the other foot, what is considered non masculine activity wise?

Re: Women and Firearms
 

A woman pirate is not very ladylike in my opinion. Except Penelope Cruz in the latest Pirates movie. She wasn't half bad! :D

But seriously, it's his opinion. Why do you feel the need to criticize or question it?

Re: Women and Firearms
 

If you read my posts closer I never said he was wrong to feel the way he does, I was trying to find out where he was coming from. What is acceptable etc.

Seriously. :)

Geena Davis wasn't too shabby in Cutthroat Island. :D

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Lol, OK.

I like Geena Davis, but Cutthroat Island was probably not my favorite. :)

He would have a hard time finding a "mate" in many parts of the U.S. then. Many ladies must do what some men (not the ones where I live) may think are unladylike activities......shovel manure, bushhog a field, run a combine (or any other farm machinery), make house/barn/fence/etc. repairs. And these are not single women either....these are women that are a part of a "team." I, for one, quite enjoy all of the un-ladylike activities I take part in...imagine that:eek:

I heard/read a quote last week along the lines of "You can tell a lot about a man by the type of wife he takes."

Re: Women and Firearms
 

I like the opposite of me. I like the kind of woman that spends time in salons and enjoys shopping for clothes. I don't like women who like sitting in front of the TV watching sports. I like women who are above that sort of thing.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Hmmm, interesting.

Thank you for your reply.

Re: Women and Firearms
 

Confusing....

I love going to the salon and shopping for clothes as much as I detest sports on TV (with a passion actually). My husband loves TV sports but not so much salons and clothes shopping (although he does go with me occasionally). Gotta get back to prepping the plaster walls for new paint and installing the new foyer lighting....hubs is outside working so no help from him :(

Re: Women and Firearms
 

You had me until the prepping and plastering the walls part
