Isn’t gun training for women about the same as gun training for men? Or are there some special girl tactics I didn’t learn about in the NRA pistol instructor classes? Just wonderin’. The only sex-specific issue regarded especially well-endowed women, who must modify their two-handed hold on a pistol somewhat. I don’t remember anything else, and that one can be addressed in something like three to five seconds. There may have been mention of holster type and position, depending on the curve of the waist, but that could in theory apply to some men as well.

SEXISM!!!!!
No, really. I’ve been at the range too many times next to dudes who could use a whole mess of training.

I hope this “training” is not done so they can conduct some phony test that will be used to push a political agenda of some TV network.

i checked the Hamilton PD website and it shows that they offer training to everyone. It’s $95, not free.
