Message my wife, Coach Holster Please!, she facilitates the first PA chapter of A Girl and A Gun. She can give you the low down and put you in touch with a chapter in AZ. I linked her profile below.

Geez guys, you scared Emily away, deleted all of her posts and hightailed it out of here. Sad, she ran on the mere suggestion that some guys wouldn't be able to act like adults.

Sorry for the delay. I haven't been on as much.

Group shoot coming up for those in the area.

Welcome.

Sad, she ran on the mere suggestion that some guys wouldn't be able to act like adults.

We reap what we sow. Why would we want our mothers, daughters, wives, sisters, and girlfriends in a situation where it's likely they're going to have to deal with knuckledragging stupidity when it could be avoided?

Fortunately, we collectively did the right thing and made it clear we have troglodytes in our midst. She, fortunately, did the right thing and pulled the ejection handle before it could happen to her -- something we, as gun owners, should be applauding (fleeing to safe ground if there's trouble brewing so as to avoid an unpleasant situation).

It says something about us, you know, that she left. First, that we realize we have troglodytes in our midst. Second, that we tolerate their presence. Third, that they're pervasive enough that we feel the need to warn young ladies about their presence. Fourth, that we have the communal character to do so. And, finally, Fifth, that we as a community are unwilling to confront the problem in a meaningful way.

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- this is Life 101 stuff. We need to stop tolerating behavior (and, potentially, people) that can't pass even that simple standard.

I agree, hence the photo I included in my post.

I'm no angel, but it is sad that we chase anyone away, even our opponents, but especially a young possibly new shooter, regardless of gender.

There are a number of posts that depict a sophomoric attitude, and had nothing to do with females. Besides, would any female joining a gun forum be so naive to think all gun toters are bible thumping church goers?

[Kimba]

I've never had a problem other than general misunderstanding of a post or two. I have a thick skin and after raising 2 boys, I heard and seen a LOT! I guess it's just what you are used to.

Or is it because I'm old and unattractive?

I have seen some posts that make me question the age of the author, but personally, I have not had the displeasure of being the target of them.

I've said it before and here it is again. If the future of the 2A lies with the female population, everything that can be done should be done to make the women that are here feel welcome. If they are comfortable, they may invite their friends and we will have a wider base with which to fight.

Damn, never occurred to me ... my signature.
