Today’s gun quote comes from a woman who is quite familiar with guns – Genie Jennings, Contributing Editor of Women and Guns magazine. In her article, “Choosing to Have Fun: Amy O’Connell of New Hampshire” found in the January/February 2011 issue of Women and Guns magazine, Genie finds out what lead Amy to learn more about shooting.

Wrapping up the article Genie says, “Women are the key to the future of gun ownership. There are more of us. We tend to be both more politically active and also more readily swayed. Women, whether they are mothers or not, are concerned with the survival of the species. We are quick to sense and react to danger. It is up to those of us who care about Constitutional matters to be sure that women are sensing and reacting properly to perceived dangers.

Women will make gun ownership appear as normal as it is. Women like Amy will swell our ranks simply by choosing to have fun.“

We all understand that the Second Amendment applies to all of us – men and women alike – so women gun owners should not seem odd at all. Guns are not for men or women but for people. For protection and fun.

Let me know what it is that you find most enjoyable about shooting.

Happy Shooting!
