yattta heyyy

Well Grapeshot wasn't the only one who saw your post and thought it was wrong. I don't agree with everything he posts but I sure agree with his position on this one.

Reread the question. He asked who the woman was on the front page of OCDO. By POSTING A LIE you were asking for a correction. You should try more research and less posting before putting out comments that may be offensive to a person who is not party to the thread, but is the face of OCDO.

Tupperware!:banghead:
FAIL ! Just reread the OP it says nothing about the lady on the home page, NOTHING. get your glasses checked out. In fact I put it here in RED for you....

I have noticed that not only online but out in the world, as far as legal gun ownership goes, there is a huge gap between the number of men vs the number of women who either own, CC, OC, or hunt. Women are stereotypically more vulnerable than a man, and men dont have a feminist movement, or anything promoting their specific gender based rights, one would assume that there should be more lawfully armed women than men. Generally the opposite is true.

Stainless, as to the answer to your question ... the girls are all over. I noticed no one posted the percentage of OCDO members who are female, but I bet it is a pretty good one.

As for the general population ... couldn't tell you, but I did some research on the CC licenses in my state and it looks like it's about 55-45 male-female ratio. The average mean age was male 45 years old and female 49 years old. This was skewed somewhat in that metro areas had more male applicants and rural areas had more female applicants.

Doug - it wasn't women's suffrage that caused the problems, it was the femme-nazi's who ran the Women's Rights Movement in the 1960's and 1970's. IMHO Gloria Steinman did more to wreck the movement than anything else.

Yes, women are supposed to get equal pay for equal work ... last I saw, we were all the way up to .74 cents on the white mans dollar.

But you also have to look at what has been beaten into women from time-immemorial ... we are the weaker sex, we need men to keep us safe, we live in a civilized society and there is no need for taking your own safety into your own hands ... you have the police, your husband, your son to protect you. It is only recently that American women have been encouraged to take their own safety into their own hands - over 100 years after Samuel Colt built the great equalizer.

In the 1970's and 1980's, when I asserted my right to have an opinion or to defend myself, I was called a bitch. Even now, the local LEOs consider me too assertive. (Small rural farming community in the Baptist Bible Belt) The only difference between then and now, is that I don't give a flying f what they think ... especially when I can outshoot most of them, I have had more of the same training they have to have just to be on the force, and I am smarter than most of them. :cool:

Doug, I would take exception to what you say, but in my experience, it is too true ... women have been brainwashed for millenia into thinking they cannot survive without the protection of a man. Also, for too long, it was true.

C'mon out guys, you are safe for now :lol:

As for why there are not any more women participating in the discussions in this forum ... well, it gets a little rough in here at times. And most women have been trained to be non-confrontational. Hey, it wasn't that long ago that weweren't allowed tohave an opinion unless our father/husband gave it to us.

While there may not be many women who OC, I assure you, there are and have been many women who CC for many decades whether it was legal or not.

Also, as was my experience in one of my pistol classes ... I was one of two women, I was at least 20 years older than most of the men, and I shot in the first of five relays, seven in each relay. The young guys really didn't talk to me very much the first two days of classroom instruction. We shot the first relay - 3 yards to 25 yards, 100 rounds. I shot a 98. When I walked out of the range, the young guns asked what I shot and I told them. They laughed. The other guys in my relay told them, "don't laugh, she can outshoot all of you." The second relay came out and they confirmed my shooting as they had seen my target and score when they entered the range. Out of 5 go-rounds, I shot 98,100,100,97,100. With my Kimber UCII .45.

Then we had the outdoor tactical pistol the next day. I LOVE to run-and-gun. By that time, I was getting a really crappy attitude from a couple of guys, one young, his uncle that was about my age. I had finally had enough, told them they were a couple of idiots and to keep away from me, then walked off. I heard the uncle say something and my SO said loud and clear, "She won't hit you, she'll just shoot you and be done with it." Nephew said something, SO said, "She's the most dangerous person you will probably ever meet, I know, I have lived with her for almost 30 years and she's the toughest person I know."

There is a lot of crappy attitude out there and we pick up on it even if it is not always evident to men. Same with walking into a gun store, or a gun show. When I first started going to gun shows locally, until the vendors got to know me, they would talk to my SO instead of me until he would tell them, "tell her, she's buying not me."

Also, for a long time, guns were a guy-thing. Like football, baseball, hockey, and basketball. The women were in the kitchen cooking, taking care of the children, the household, relegated to still being second class citizens.

Think about it, it wasn't that long ago that beating your wife was met with the attitude of 'well, she must have done something to deserve it,' or 'ya gotta do something to keep the little wife in line.'

I still find paternalistic, parochial attitudes are rampant in this society. I am lucky in that my SO encouraged me to be competent and expected me to be an equal partner in our relationship. My father wasn't quite so encouraging, but he did expect me to know certain things that were not considered traditional women's pervues. He was a closet conservative who was married to an activist conservative who pretended to be a liberal to fit in with the people she wanted to be. I learned from my father how to think critically, but not how to apply it. My SO encouraged me to start applying critical thinking.

I have gained a lot of weight this past year due to my degenerated discs at L4,5,6 ... but here's a couple of recent shots. My back is feeling better and I hope to loose the weight this year, so these are temporary :lol:

enough embarrasment :cool:

NO, actually it is YOU who FAIL. You were not responding to the OP as you CLAIM you were responding to a post mid thread as quoted below. So once again you have posted fraudulent information and require correction. IF you can't even remember what posts you are responding to you are going to continue to be corrected.

Like I said - TUPPERWARE! ...Thanks for Playing ..See below for the truth.

I always encourage women to carry in some (legal) mode. I have read that something like 97% of people in prison for violent crime are men. A large percentage of that crime is against women. If anyone needs to understatnd self defense it is women.

When you throw kids in the SD mix I think the phrase "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is an understatement. I understand women in the role of nurturer and wanting to keep any danger out of their environment, but we need to reinforce that guns are "tools" that can help them achieve that goal.

okboomer, don't know where you thought women were taught to be non-confrontational but I could introduce you to my ex-wife for proof of that fallacy. :lol:

Well at least I see I am not alone. A "woman scorned" looks placid next to my wife when she gets spun up. I am VERY glad she is on my side. The rest of you are on your own.:what:

Well as a dad I take the responsibility for the security of my daughters seriously. I started teaching them shooting at ages 9 & 11. They show moderate interest but already are a better shot than I was when I started out. I use the walther P22 but will move up calibers as they get older.

I was perusing a table of junk with my wife at a local gun show last weekend. The vendor tried to sell me a "self defense" key chain for my wife. With her standing next me, he went blabbering on to me about how a woman needs something to protectherself in parking lots, etc etc. and how this monkeys paw keychain was just the thing to deter an attacker. My wife opened her jacket and opined "Two to the chest and one to the head works better." :cool:

ROTFLMAO

Typical stereotypical picture of a woman holding cookware. Tupperware in this case :lol:

Like she could actually reach the trigger.

But you get my 100% vote for training them early, and training them right

okboomer I love it when somebody makes a condescendingcomment about women and their abilities when it comes to shooting, and then proceed to get their butts handed to them on the range. LOL

There are several women that I have known since childhood who could handle a firearm just fine, some I have yet to out shoot. Some of my earliest memories of my Grandma are her shooting bulls eye competitions. I am privileged to have inherited her S&W Model 41.

Also, my cousin Angela, who at the age of 16 had beaten every man in the club at trap, except one. He would never shoot against her. He would say that even though he knew it was stupid, he just couldn't stand the thought of that little girl beating him. I've always considered this a victory in itself.

Of course my favorite female shooter is my wife. I knew that I had found a keeper when she told me that before we could get married, I had to agree to her watching football, and it was her idea to register at Cabella's for our wedding gifts.She hasn't beaten me, yet. Yet I'm sure that she will. She says that it will never happen, I know better, she's getting really good. She has already defeated people who regularly beat me.

In the last couple of years our club has seen a lot of women get involved in shooting. At any given match I would say that at least10% of the shooters are female. That number is growing every year.

For a lot of reasons women are usually better shots than men. The most important of these is they lack the male bravado that gets in the way of LEARNING.

When I met my wife she was not interested in firearms. Now she can keep a tin can in the air until the gun runs dry, and she insists on shooting the damn string in two on hanging targets. Guess who gets to rehang those. Lets not even talk about her bulls eye shooting or skeet and trap. I taught her everything I know and now she needs a better instructor.

While it sound sexist, it is the truth, based on the voting statistics I've seen over the last 40 years. Woman tend to vote democratic more than men, and tend to vote for 'security' laws over personal responsibility and freedom more than men.

If it was not for the 'woman vote', most federal democrats would not have gotten elected in the last 40 years.

Not all women are this way, of course. There are many conservative women (who still tend to vote 'security' over freedom, however). It is much more rare to have a woman vote for personal freedom over group security.

Women are wired differently than men. Women voting has dramatically changed the nature of government in this nation.

It is not sexist if it is a statistical fact, is it?:uhoh:

+1 I used to teach people to drive tractor trailers. All my best students were females.

I was taking the picture. It was unloaded for the shot. she took one of me in the same scene. I trust her with it loaded, but I am teaching her gun safety and handling before she gets to shoot. She knows how to ID the parts, and she almost has the 4 basicsafety rules down. she isnt strong enough to operate the slide, and of course she cant hold down a .40 yet under recoil, but she does quite well with the bb gun, (crossman C 11). She can hit a pop can at 15 feet with it all day, shes only just 7.Ill probably start her off single loading a .22, probably a walther or ruger I could rent at the range.

Nope, if it's a solid statistic then it's reality / not sexist SO you are correct & this is why we have Obama today, the Majority of Women voted for him ( and his Wife that knows nothing about fashion ) pushing him over the top, he gained 52 % of the popular vote... So, we really can blame the Majority of Women in the US for the woes we have today & the financial trouble this country will have for years to come. Thank you.:uhoh: for once it's not the mens fault :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
