clicky: globeandmail.com: Girls just want to have guns

Snippet 1:

With her manicured nails, Prada heels and slim 5-foot 9-inch figure, Kelly Miller can hold her own at any cocktail party.
But this week the mother of four swapped her chai lattes for a Winchester rifle, matched wits against the wilds of Northern Alberta - and caught a doe in the crosshairs for the first time.

Snippet 2:

"When a creature dies so you might live, it teaches you on an emotional and spiritual level that life is interdependent," he [Dr. Eaton] says. "It gets us out of ourselves and it connects us with the Earth and the creatures. And that engenders respect."
But respect from the guys?
That's up for debate, says Ms. Miller. Like many female hunters, she hears one question when she turns up in hunting shops: "Where's your husband?"
Those guys had better get used to a new type of hunter in the woods, she says.
"Just wait until I get pink cammo [sic] out there, baby."

Just thought I'd share the good karma.

This brings up my interesting story. Since the people I see most of the time are my coworkers, they are the ones who get to hear my point of view the most. I also happen to be in the gender minority, being a male, at my job. And I'm constantly amazed to find out how many of the females I work with are gun owners, or at least pro-gun.

That is one great thing about the great state of Indiana. Girls love guns!!!

The other day my wife actually got mad at me because I was going to the range with my dad and didn't ask her to go.

I was shocked and happy!!

That's a nice problem to have Only got my wife to go once so far but I invite her whenever I go. I think she's waiting for next summer now

Was hoping to... avoid... pink...

You are right. Women like pink. Pami likes pink. I will... like... p.p..p...

I got her a Taurus PT132 in .32 ACP She enjoys shooting it a lot. I have to say it is kinda fun, hardly kicks at all.

The first time I shot it at a public range I was like this just isn't right what are the guys going to think, guns arn't pink. Then I realized that while you are holding a gun, nobody will say anything to you

It got her into the great world of shooting. She enjoys shooting my Colt 1911,and she likes the shotgun....just not with slugs...

That's a really cool article.

You gotta be careful dressing the little ones in pink camo, though!
You can lose a visual on them fast in the barbie aisle!!
