Women and guns: a growing phenomenon

Posted by David Hardy · 12 January 2014 07:27 AM

Yet another report. I think it's one phase of the expansion and acceptability of gun ownership that, well, this is hard to phrase. I think gun ownership and use was quite acceptable in American society from the settlement of Jamestown up to the 1960s. Then, largely under the influence of the mass media, it became less favored. After half a century of that, it is returning to the norm. Of course, that half century comprises most of our lives (or all of the life to those younger than I) so it seems as if it were a sea change. The mass media is behind the curve, still thinking in the old terms and only slowly and reluctantly realizing the new.

Article on women and guns

Posted by David Hardy · 28 September 2011 01:53 PM

" Chicks with Guns’: Some 15 million US women pack heat." . It's a book review, which begins:

"Pop quiz: Name one accessory that grandmothers, moms, girls, wealthy socialites, middle-class females and low-income women might be likely to own — and cherish — all across America.

If you answered “a gun,” you’d be correct."

But here's the real shocker -- it's not in Guns and Ammo. it's from msnbc, and in US Today.

Men are from Mars, women are from...

Posted by David Hardy · 30 November 2006 02:08 PM

An interesting review of an interesting book.

It's by two female law enforcement firearms instructors, and apparently starts from the premises that women and men learn to shoot differently. It sounds like a heck of a conversation starter at, say, an academic reception. "I was just reading a book that suggests that women learn to handle themselves in a gunfight somewhat differently from how men do. You know, the "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" thesis."

UPDATE: check out the comments. We've someone online who studied under them.
