It is no surprise that modern women are taking more steps to become independent and empowered, and one popular way they choose to do this is through firearms ownership and training. This is great to see, since learning to safely and responsibly use a firearm breeds numerous positive benefits that translate into other areas of life.
Take Control of Your Personal Safety
The number one reason people of both genders buy and train to use a firearm is to take control of their personal safety. Men and women are about equally likely to say protection is a major reason they own a gun. In a society where violence is on the rise and police responses are often delayed, everyone should take appropriate measures to protect themselves. Legally carrying a handgun and learning to use it properly in a tactical situation measurably improves your chances of coming home safe and feeling safe in your home.
Gain Emotional & Physical Strength
It surprises many people to learn how much physical strength and dexterity is necessary to use a handgun with proficiency. Women are learning how shooting can become part of their physical health routine, as well as giving them inner strength. Those who are confident in their abilities to protect themselves are often more emotionally strong and can handle tough circumstances in life.
Assert Your Independence
In the age of the modern independent woman, what proclaims your independence more than the ability to protect yourself from harm? Owning and carrying a firearm is a powerful statement of equality, leveling the playing field and ending discrimination across racial, ethnic, gender, and socio-economic lines. Women who carry feel much less vulnerable in various situations.
Build Your Confidence
Being proficient in using a firearm through practice can give you the knowledge and skill to confidently protect yourself against an attacker. This confidence stems from your mastery of the necessary techniques. Learning a protection mindset, which comes with owning and carrying a handgun, breeds confidence that spills over into every area of life. You have the power to take control in unfortunate situations, and this provides a confidence you may not have had before.
