Even in the best and most peacefully civilized countries many occasions arise when a woman versed inthe knowledge and use of firarms may find that imformation and skill of great importance.

I ain't afraid to love a man. I ain't afraid to shoot him either.

I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.
