And it sounds like the women of South Carolina listened.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.wspa.com\/news\/2011\/nov\/05\/women-respond-spartanburg-sheriff-get-your-cwp-ar-2660139\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the report from WSPA<\/a> in Spartanburg, Jennifer Reeves was home alone with her kids when a shooting happened in her neighborhood. While she had a gun, she didn&#8217;t know how to use. In response to the shooting and to Sheriff Wright&#8217;s call for women to get concealed carry permits, she organized a class for women in her neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>What is perhaps surprising about this report was the pro-gun tone throughout. <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.wspa.com\/staff\/51623\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christine Scarpelli of WSPA<\/a> concludes her report by saying it &#8220;let&#8217;s you take your safety into your own hands.&#8221; She is absolutely correct and is to be applauded for stating the truth on the air. And from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/christine.scarpelli.wspa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the comments on her Facebook page<\/a>, it sounds like she may have participated as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheriff Chuck Wright of Spartanburg County, SC made national news with his call for women to get their concealed&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4083,158,659,497],"class_list":["post-3792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-christine-scarpelli","tag-concealed-carry","tag-south-carolina","tag-training"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3792"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7379,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3792\/revisions\/7379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
