Perhaps of passing interest related to self defense.
A book written by Jim Carmichel, Shooting Editor, Outdoor Life.
THE WOMAN'S GUIDE TO HANDGUNS:A PRIMER FOR SAFE-SELF DEFENSE
"The purpose of this book is to teach you, in as clear a manner as
possible, how to select, legally buy, use, store, carry, and care for
a handgun. The accent will always be on safety, and by means of simple
explanations, diagrams, and illustrations help you understand the workings
and use of handguns. Don't be surprised if you discover that as you begin
to understand the use and function of handguns, you will also come to
understand better your own fears, apprehensions, and prejudices about
handguns."
"One of the tragedies of our time is that anyone- and especially a woman-
even has to think about [handguns]. As for firearms expert Jim Carmichel,
he doesn't play the evangelist. It's YOUR decision."
"But to help you decide intelligently, he takes the mystery out of owning
and caring for and using a pistol."
Just a thought. Please send any replies from net.women direct as I am no
longer a reader.
