How is it with women who own guns and do offroading? Are we a dangerous and feared breed, too?
Hi Linde, 27 February 2019
I own a BB gun, does that count? I also have an Air Pistol I keep for protection and an old Wham o slingshot. I'm prepared for anything.
If all the above fails, I have a backup, my switchblade and brass knuckles from my high school days.
Now that I am female I decided I needed something that would do most of the work for me rather than me having to duke it out with some punk. I went looking for a nice gun and found something I really like. It shoots well, I can handle it fine, it's a little large for a compact revolver but I don't mind. The whole purpose of the thing is to scare the crap out of them so you don't have to fire it. I think it's impressive enough to scare the crap out of just about anyone.
I took it to the pistol range to try it out but first I shot my air pistol a few rounds. There were quite a few shooters there with their 22's, 9mm's, .40's and 45's. Some of them laughed at me while I was shooting my air pistol. After about 30 minutes I brought out my new pistol, loaded the 5 round cylinder. The folks standing on either side of me asked if it was another air gun. I told them no but it does move a lot of air.
Took my stance, aimed and fired. Flame shot out of the barrel about 4 feet forward and up on both sides of the barrel at 45 degrees going up about 4 feet. The muzzle blast was so large most everyone dropped to the ground. I commenced to rap off the remaining four rounds rapid fire. When I was done, I looked around; I was all alone.
Kind of nice having a S&W .500 Magnum; the sound sends people fleeing and talk about accurate. It knocks over stuff you aren't even aiming at. The only problem is the cost to shoot it. About $10.00 for the five shots.
I keep it under my pillow just in case I need it.
Best Always, Love
