Woman With A Gun

Last week a lady left a comment on my Girl And Her Gun Facebook page.  Her comment was something to the effect of "though for different reasons than you, I too, recently came to be interested in guns."

If you have been reading this blog long then you already know I love people.  They fascinate me and I love to hear about how they became to be who they are, so I asked her if she would mind sharing with me how she found her way into the world of firearms.

She didn't mind and she did share.  While reading her story, I wondered if she would mind if I shared it on the blog, so I asked and she didn't mind. 

I enjoyed hearing her story so much that I came up with the idea to make it a feature on the blog. 

If enough woman are interested I will start a new feature on the blog that highlights women and how they became a "Woman With A Gun".

So, if you would like to be a part of empowering women and wouldn't mind sharing with all of us your story please email me at agirlandhergun@gmail.com

I think that my blog, in particular, has several women readers who are venturing into guns for the first time and, much like I was, are apprehensive.  I think it would be great if they could come here and read stories of the women that came before them and hopefully find a woman or a story that inspires them in their journey.

I will present the stories just as they are told to me and I will refrain from elaborating as I want to let everyone think for themselves without my color commentary, but I think it would be nice if you all left a word or two to those who share because it is always nice to hear an encouraging thoughts from others.

So, come back tomorrow to meet the first "Woman With A Gun".
