My journey into the world of firearms ownership started at the age of 52. I had never held a pistol, let alone shoot one, except maybe that BB gun around age 9 or 10. I’ve worked an office job for 30+ years, 16+ years of that from home. I was often alone in the house all day long. I was never in the military or law enforcement, and didn’t grow up learning to shoot guns.
In 2014 my husband and I decided to get our concealed weapons permit. It soon became my passion to learn as much as possible about firearms safety, shooting and self-defense. I was encouraged by my instructors to share what I was learning with other women. I knew they too could be empowered with the knowledge to protect themselves and their loved ones.
