I want to preface this by saying clearly that there are more and more women entering the shooting world, and that this piece is written from the viewpoint of one woman with only her own experience to draw on. However, I’m a trauma therapist and I talk to a LOT of women, so my perspective […]
“Fitness is an essential part of being tactical.” Those aren’t my words – they’re the words of my shooting instructor, Jeff Gonzales at the Range Austin, and part of how he introduces his weekend long pistol classes. Now, keep in mind that Jeff himself is an avid Crossfitter who can probably crush a handful of […]
There are more and more companies these days offering ladies’ conceal carry options in forms such as belly bands, shorts with an inner thigh pocket, holsters that hook into a bra front, and so forth. Most of these options try to offer some versatility for a lady in terms of being easy to wear during […]
The post the other day on all the guns you regret selling made me think about the guns I’ve sold and the fact that I sold them because I hated them so much. I also thought about all the guns I’ve borrowed that I quickly gave back because I hated shooting them. My first pistol […]

The biggest challenge is that if you always ride in full gear (ATGATT) and your gear is properly fitted, your jacket will be too tight and close to the body to carry a firearm underneath it. Motorcycle leathers need to be tight enough to keep the jacket armor […]
I train with five calibers: 9mm and its baby brother .380, .223 and 5.56 (happily, my rifle is chambered in .223 Wylde so I can go back and forth), and, when I get to it, .308. I recently picked up a SIG 522 for a ridiculously cheap price and got it set up, but I […]
Granted, it’s hard for everyone to find the right person. But when you’re a Woman of the Gun and a Democrat, it’s even harder. It was a lot easier to find dates before Bumble suddenly decided that you could no longer feature photos of yourself holding any kind of firearm, even if it was from […]
