Comments: Local ABC Station: Women on Target

Nice article. Unfortunately all too many women do find guns scary.

When I was teaching individuals, I would always borrow a friend's handgun that shot 22-shorts. No recoil. No loud noise. Easy to control, and really fun to shoot at short distances. After that I could get most people comfortable with 9mm, or 38 special. Not everyone would like a .45 or .357, but for a 1 or 2 hour lesson, I figured 9mm was a fine start.

The MSM paints guns demon-devices that will leap up off a shelf and kill of their own accord. You have to overcome that.

Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" are currently banned as well. Another common bounce is any word containing the string "cialis" which means words such as socialism will be rejected. Try putting a hyphen into a word like that.
