by Chesterfield County Sheriff Sam Parker gets it. In response to a brutal rape and murder of a local woman, Sheriff Parker is encouraging women to get their South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP).
“Get you a CWP permit. To be honest with you, there is no just no reason to unlock doors, no reason to give anyone the opportunity to hurt you.”
I think this range is doing a great service by holding a Ladies Night to introduce women to firearms. I wish more ranges would do it.
I hope everyone who go's shooting has a supportive environment like that, and continues to pursue learning. The fun in firearms ownership isn't just in having that tool at hand, it's in having the knowledge (here in the NW we say "software installed") to use it well. Like toolbear used to say "Owning a gun doesn't make you a shooter any more then owning a Stradavarius makes you a concert violinist".
