Will Rogers once said that strangers were friends he hadn’t met yet. With this in mind, I can’t help but wonder why it is so foreign for women to handle a firearm. Mine is definitely one of my best friends. Why?
I can trust this best friend to be reliable—to never flake out on [...]

Ladies, it’s important that we control our bodies in a stressful encounter and not the other way around. The ability to do so may certainly make the difference between life and death.
For example, when a woman sees a gun pointed at her, her natural instinct is usually to scream and put her hands [...]

The term “fog of war” is heard frequently amidst the fighting terrain of our soldiers. In the middle of a shoot out between our forces and enemy combatants, time seems to warp, speed up, and just plain stop, depending on which soldier you speak with. This phenomenon is a result of the mind [...]

I recently finished reading two GREAT books, back to back, that are fictional scenarios about an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) attack on the U.S. Both books are very well written, extremely realistic, and I had a hard time putting them down. The first one (still my all time favorite) was “Alas, Babylon” by [...]

We’ve all heard of individuals who have “die hard” hobbies, but does anyone have a hobby, or an indulgence that’s really worth dying for?
Indulge me for a moment here, as I do have a point.
I love books. Can’t get enough of them. I love shopping for shoes. No matter what my weight, shoes [...]

Continuation from Are You Prey for a Rapist Part I from yesterday…

I’m going to share with you some traits that rape predators look for in an ideal target and how you can counter their efforts. This is NOT an all inclusive summary, it’s merely a highlight of a few of the considerations I teach in my Women of Caliber self-defense course. Understand that my [...]

The primary reason why I don’t recommend a stun gun for self-defense is one of the critical reasons why I DO recommend a woman use a firearm… distance.
Anything you have to use in close proximity of your attacker would be the LAST choice for a self-defense weapon choice on my list. Firearms give [...]

3/18/09 Update: While we’re ecstatic to hear that the NRA-ILA and a couple of good politicians have rectified this wrong, there’s still merit to this particular blog below in showing just how vulnerable we are to the minds and wills of a select few.
I would suspect that there are very few readers who do. And [...]

This is a derivation of a very well written piece by “Syd” on a fellow blog. I felt that it was very indicative of many of the reasons why sensible people do carry a firearm, but I felt that it needed some insight spiced with a tad bit of estrogen. J
