I mentioned previously I'm the co-founder of the US Womens Shooting Academy. I've taken a woman who had never shot a handgun and after 7 lessons she was pulling from the holster in under a second and hitting a target at 21 feet. I will also note she didn't break a nail!

I remember about 10 years back, a lot of women taking Karate Classes - many because husbands or boyfriends had physically threatened them. Many became very proficient. I am 100% for anything that brings women up to full equality status with men. And in many countries, there are laws that women must be paid equally as men doing the same job.
.........Women taking gun proficiency and safety classes are a good thing. I would be OK with a government program to pay for such training. Equal power should increase social stability. Women should not have to feel preyed upon in any situation.
