I would say that 99% of women who know how to handle a gun or who are engaged in practical shooting as a sport, were influenced by a male in their lives whether it is the father, husband, brother, boyfriend, uncle or a male friend. Gun ownership, inarguably, is a man’s world. But, it did not say that women cannot dip their fingers to it, if it is necessary, or even if she was just plain interested. In my case, the guilty party was my husband who suavely got my nod, first, for him to own a gun and later on, to join him on his shooting practice, tournaments and gun shows. I have to admit that in the beginning, I would cringe whenever I would see him working on his gun (and later on guns). I always have this thought that it will discharge accidentally and someone could get hurt. At that time, I could not even hold a gun. But then, gradually, I warmed up to it ---- I started holding the gun (no bullets, of course) until later on, my husband would be training me on how to hold it properly, how to get the right stance and eventually how to fire it. Believe it or not, within months, I was going with him on his practice shooting and tournaments. At first, I was the photographer and videographer. Eventually, I would be doing my own practice sessions and would join him on tournaments.

Our founding fathers lived in a time of tyranny and oppression. The idea of human rights, personal property, and freedom of expression were at the whims of the ruling class. It was commonplace for people of the world to be told what religion they could belong to and how to worship and what they could say and not say about the leaders of their society, to be forced to live in a caste system that did not allow for bettering one’s life, to be told what possessions they could own, or to be even forced into slavery. Violating the societal rules established by kings, queens, czars, or other ruling classes would lead to severe penalties, such as imprisonment, torture, loss of extremities (such as fingers, hands, arms), loss of the senses and organs (such as eyes, ears, noses, or tongue), or the common practice of death by execution!
