Why Every Woman Should Carry a Gun

Like David, I would probably never sell a gun from my "collection" either - unless - I was selling my home for the last time in my life and had guns my kids didn't want. I doubt that will happen though.

It's kind of a family history in calibers. The shotgun I use to this day, a Browning Sweet 16, is worth about $2500. My Dad gave it to me on my 16th birthday and I think he paid about $150 for it.

Yeah....it usually happens when some "billy-badass" gives a newbie a 12 gauge loaded with 3 inch buckshot. The kick of the gun usually sends them reeling enough they back off of wanting to shoot again, or even try another gun.

This usually happens with kids and .....lol..........and ummm....women.

From time to time, we'll swap/sell a gun in order to get another one. But there are some that will never been sold. I still have my single shot 20 gauge (H&R) that I was given when I was 10....not worth much, but it has a great sentimental attachment to it. My husband still has his 410 he got when he was 5....and my youngest son has my mothers Winchester .223 rifle thats probably 20 years old now and still looks new.

I bought a 9mm Luger P '08,
made in 1940; very sleek.
That was when the English were at war with the nazis,
but we did not get into it until shortly after a date that will live in infamy.

I bought it as an artifact of history,
in addition to its being very neat.

I don 't know its provenance,
but I 'd bet its an interesting story.

I have a Walther P38 and a 1851 Navy Colt. Both exact replicas.

Also, a Lee Enfield 303 Mk IV (1942) - of course, this is licenced.

Interesting gentlemen...........interesting.

We've got a Batavia Double Barrel Shotgun, 12 gauge...dated abt. 1903.

Its cool as hell. Silver Triggers....I'd like to have it restored somewhat, its not in working condition, and missing the forearm. But at some point in my life, its going to find its place on a mantel.

Mantel sounds good. I'm not sure I would trust 1903 metallurgy with 21st century ammo.

Looks like it's not impossible. I have a squeeky clean record, I have valid reason for wanting it for defense, and I'm willing to go through whatever training needed.

Trusting people is not good.
Trusting people shud be kept to a minimum.

Here in Michigan there is a waiting period on handguns in addition to the standard background check. You can walk out with a long gun the same day, but you have to come back in a few to pick up your pistol.

For concealed carry permits, you have to apply with the local sheriff. You also have to take and pass a class that includes proficiency with the weapon, often taught by NRA members, former cops, soldiers, etc.

Montana, what handguns are banned?

A small revolver would be nice but clip fed composite guns are quite small and light, hold up to 15 rounds, and aren't that expensive. Some, like Glocks, will fire even after being dropped in mud. Every major manufacturer now produces some variant of the Glock design.
