Nationwide, more and more women are getting firearms.
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, 80 percent of gun retailers saw an increase in women between 2011 and 2012. The number of women who owned guns spiked to 23 percent in 2011, compared to 13 percent in a 2005 Gallup poll, according to Natalie Foster’s website, “The Girl’s Guide to Guns.”
A store clerk at the Jefferson Golden Dawn’s Sporting Goods department said the same trend can be seen in Ashtabula County. |

| Wonderful news ! Every woman that carries or is (unfortunately forced) to use a firearm to defend herself/hers has a "deterring halo effect" on other criminals targeting women. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
