We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Mostly good article, some of those statistics are encouraging about number of kids that have shot or used guns.
P.S. Why were you reading 17? LOL:lol:

Wow.
I've always suspected the readership of Seventeen were more likely to be 14 than 19, so the survey numbers surprise me.
It's good to see, though.

Did you all notice in the "What you think" insert, that both girls are terribly misinformed in their opinions?
The pro-gun girl thinks she will be able to "disarm a shooter by shooting them in the arm." She been watching to much TV, right?
The anti-gun girl parrots the usual Brady Bunch rhetoric. Doesn't know how to think for herself.
Over all, though, it's an encouraging article.

Probably, instead of making a subtle reference to some shootings where the weapon-holding hand of the assailant is hit instead of COM. One of those happened in San Diego a few years back. BG waved a knife, cop shot him in the hand.

Well, I did my part this weekend. I went to a friends farm to eat fajitas and refine her shooting. There were 6 women there including a 19 year old that had never fired a gun. They all shot and enjoyed themselves a great deal. All but one wants to get a pistol, and most want a CHL also. Even though the 19 yr old didn't want to shoot anymore, she was pleased that she outshot her equally inexperienced boyfriend, and came a way with a positive feeling about the whole thing.

It's amazing what Self-Preservation will make a person do to stay alive. A lot of politics and rhetoric go flying out the window.

Show me a (non-squirt, rubber-band, stun, BB) gun that cannot be used to kill a cop and I'll show you a unicorn.

Sure, why not? It's not any less useful,costs no more to make than any other color, and many women like it. Women are willing to spend good money on something that they want, especially if it makes it more "theirs" (just look at clothing), and so the smartmanufacturers are going to supply it.
I'm sure that I'll be getting one for each ofmy daughters whenthe time comes.

Many pro-gun organizations sponsor range days to introduce new shooters to a variety of firearms (guns are loaned to the group by members).
Maybe it is an outdoor range that has rental guns?
A friend of mine teaches a monthly Basic Intro to firearms with a range day included, at least once every few months I'd head out with him and provide a variety of firearms for people to shoot.
The majority of women preferred the FN 5.7, FS 1911 and Glock 20, go figure.

I'm interested in seeing the readers' feedback on this article. How many blast the magazine versus how many applaud it for bringing this to light.
