Holster Fashion Show: Women's Group Studies Holster Choices
Kathy Jackson
"Oooh, I really like that purse," one woman enthused. "It's so pretty! Boy, holster purses have really gotten better looking, haven't they?" "Yes, but how well can you get to the gun?" another wondered. "That compartment has to be pretty small." She stuck her hand into the firearm compartment and looked thoughtful before announcing aloud, "There's more room in there than I thought." Another woman was admiring a different purse from Galco, running her hands over the thick leather and remarking upon the close stitching and quality construction. At another table, a group of women discussed the merits of appendix carry compared to other forms . . . keep reading

The "Sad Sisterhood" of Victims
Catherine Feltych
Recently, I happened across an article in the local newspaper about the devastation two women had experienced at the hands of the same violent criminal. One victim was attacked in the parking lot of a local university where she was a vice president. The criminal threatened her with a knife and demanded her purse and car keys. She gave him the keys and purse while pulling away from him. Running in high heels, she screamed for help as vehicles passed by and the criminal drove off in her car. Two weeks later, another woman was beaten by the same man as she left the public school where she taught. As she tried to escape, she tore knee ligaments, which . . . keep reading

Firearm Feminism
Janine Peterson
In the several years I lived alone in DC, I watched the police chase down and arrest people outside my apartment window. I nervously walked by the muggers, trying to be casual. Luckily for me, I lived near several gay bars, and the muggers set their sights on the drunken gay men, not on a young female. I lived fifty yards from the park where intern Chandra Levy was found dead. My neighbors were robbed. I embraced luck as my tool to keep myself safe and alive. What else could I do? I despaired over how I could defend myself, even in my apartment. I studied karate for five years; long enough to earn a black belt. In college I studied aikido, and my instructor there showed me . . . keep reading

A Question of Courage
Skip Coryell
I have long believed that the fate of the Second Amendment ultimately lies in the hands of women, so Jeanne Assam is a comforting ray of hope for me. Let's face it, the women outnumber us men, so if they don't support the right to keep and bear arms, then it could well fall idly onto the ash heap of history as a good idea that just didn't stand the test of time. We can't let that happen. . . . keep reading

Gun Fit
Kathy Jackson
From working with beginners, I can tell you that many of the hardest-to-fix shooting problems come from dealing with equipment that Just Doesn't Fit. The shooter may be struggling with a lever that can't be reached, or a fat grip that keeps squirreling around in the hand, or a trigger finger that cannot be placed properly on the trigger without . . . keep reading

"A Woman's Perspective:" It's You and Me Against the World
Kathy Jackson
I once shot in a competition at our local range where the participants were divided up into five-person teams. The goal of the stage was to knock down 15 steel targets as rapidly as possible. On our first attempt, our team's score was abysmal. Several of the steel silhouettes had multiple shots on them, while others weren't getting hit at all. The problem was that we were functioning as a bunch of armed individuals, not as a team . . . keep reading
