Woman Midwest-style

I am not a gun lobbyist.  I am just another grassroots, staunch believer in our constitutional Right to Bear Arms.   There are thousands of everyday law-abiding  folks who seek  intelligent and responsible helpful tips, info  or services. This post is not  to be politically correct, having nothing to gain except sharing stuff-to-know.  This is my own perspective about self defense, women's guns and our choices. I do not claim expertise about weapons, ballistics, and shooting methods except for my own hunting and personal recreation. The first tragedy that occurred inspiring  this  post was the devastating massacre at Sandy Hook... Many tragic events have taken place since, and worldwide anyone who pays attention to news is aware of and most surely has an opinion. I truly respect all opinions.

A handgun should fit like a glove Alright, especially the guys have very strong opinions about self-defense handguns.  I could rant about bein’a staunch patriot for our Right to Bear Arms and the politics of women being justified to carry just as men rant in favor of the big guns — I’d just bore y’all.  There’s a lot of folks interested to look, buy, if not to carry, at least to own a good handgun for home defense — for ‘just in case’. Being a repost of the article written by Richard Nance | July 16th, 2014. This post is merely some useful info I found for inexperienced buyers mostly for potential conceal carry, and getting accustomed to a handgun.  I am a beginner with handguns, by no means expert so please do not misconstrue this information as a professional opinion.   And make no mistake — yes, a handgun  is  a weapon. I have open-carried a revolver on occasion, primarily going fishing in remote spots, legal in Missouri.  I learned how Missouri laws apply for co
