Good thing you didn’t have a pic with you riding the horse AND holding a gun! His head would’ve exploded!

Not all men are a$$’s when it comes to woman and guns. I wish my wife wanted to learn more about them. I’ve been trying to get her to the range for years. She’s not a hater (or we wouldn’t have went on a second date). She likes know I carry but doesn’t want to shoot. Oh well….

I see nothing wrong with girls with guns. Seems to me in this age it’s just plain smart! These guys ur talking about are stone age idiots!

I am a man and some people act funny when you mention guns. Some people don’t like guns, and don’t believe anyone should own one.I’m a CCW carrier here in Ohio, and I intend to protect me and my family from anyone who would try and harm us.

Wow. I’m not alone! As a Firearms Instructor and a horse-crazy cowgirl, I’ve gotten the same thing. Heck, I even combine the two and do Cowboy Mounted Shooting! Guess that makes me a hard-core gun toting control freak?

I’ve always had the opposite reaction. People I know don’t care that I carry because I’m a girl. If it was a guy they said that it would be weird. My grandma on the other hand thinks it’s crazy that anyone would carry.

Good for you. I’ve had the same reaction from both genders. In fact I am less likely to discuss firearms around women as they tend to freak out more in my experience.

Sounds like he was intimidated by a real woman.

I definitely understand how you feel. I’m a law student and receive quite a bit of judgment about my love of firearms, not just for self-defense but also as a hobby. While some try to argue the merits of the Second Amendment I don’t feel the need to defend my choice to exercise my constitutional right. If they are uncomfortable with firearms, especially if they are uncomfortable with a woman having firearms, that is their problem. I don’t try to understand, nor do I judge, their choices. I only ask for the same in return. I recently got engaged at my local firing range. Going to the range is a frequent date night activity for me and my now fiance. We enjoy shooting together. He proposed to me by lining up .40 cal cartridges in containers to read “will you marry me?” It was perfect. It was us. But when I put the pictures from the engagement up on my social media profile I heard some snide comments about a woman being in a range, some comments about guns in general, as well as comments judging the range as a place to propose. I attribute the negative comments to lack of knowledge. People are afraid of what they don’t understand. When people have not taken the time to understand firearms their ignorance and fear come out in negative and offensive ways.
