I believe education is a HUGE part in turning off the wretched stereotype that we're ALL damsels in distress! My decision to apply for my LTC came after watching a story of a Florida woman being abducted from her home and her two children. After countless calls into 911 over the course of 5 hours the perp shot her in the head and buried her body in a shallow grave with a police unit just blocks away. Her father was a police officer and said if he could change anything he would have pushed for her to have a gun, I applied for my LTC and arranged to purchase my Ruger LC9. My husband works out of town 5 days a week so I'm left to defend myself, my 2 year old, and my home, which I'm quite confident I can and will do at ANY cost. I was fortunate enough to be raised in a very pro-gun atmosphere growing up and I learned to respect the power that came along with owning and shooting a firearm. Every chance I get I'm always putting out the knowledge but I do believe that it's a slow change, once I'm able to SHOW my fellow females that it's not scary or intimidating but empowering to be your own first line of defense, they usually fall in love and take on the gun owner lifestyle. I may only be able to change a few minds at a time but I was once told that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, I'd have to agree
