Armed Peaceniks

Lefty gun huggers are crawling out of the woodwork, and what’s even better is that lots of them are women.

Next weekend I’m hosting some hippy types in upstate New York. What typically happens on these weekends is that the men do a bunch of shooting. The women run away or watch (and cheer when the men hit the clay pigeons!) and maybe pop three or four rounds on the .22. Generally, the women won’t go near the 12-gauge or anything that looks scary.

After much discussion, we’ve decided to inaugurate a women’s-only shooting class. It will be taught by a female friend of ours who has been shooting since she was 7 and is a better shot than any of the men without professional shooting experience. It will be women only, although I’ve weasled an invite to “supervise”. I’ll actually just be listening and learning. It’s going to be a fun class.

In an effort to encourage more lefties to pick up guns, here’s a comic about peace crusaders and their love of guns.

    Outstanding! If they all show up in cammies, please take pictures. =P

    Lefty here. It only took 10 rounds on the .22 for my also lefty girlfriend to shoot my AR-15. She loves it! Although we took a co-ed class together for our CCW certifications, I think an all-female class with a female instructor is an excellent way to introduce some women to shooting.

    Knowing these women, they’re much more likely to show up naked than in cammies.

    People get really sentimental over things they are about to lose.

  5. Brutal Hugger Says:

    Persimmon, nobody’s losing anything this weekend except perhaps a fear of guns.

    Having taught several women to shoot I can tell you that good ear protection goes a long way towards removing their fears. After they get used to the gun then I let them shoot a little without protection so that they know what to expect in a defensive encounter.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
