Chicks with Guns

OK, so that blog title sounds cooler than "15 million women adhere to the Second Amendment."  Say what you will, but that one piece of equipment can be the difference between a woman being a victim or not.  I vote for not being a victim.

The best "chick with a gun" story I have involves a genteel older lady who was always immaculately dressed, coiffed, and made up -- a former beauty queen with impeccable manners and fashion sense.  In a passing conversation one day, she mentioned, "Oh, yes, I saw a rabid skunk out by the garage.  I didn't have time to call my husband, so I just pulled my gun out of my purse and shot it myself."  Then she went back to talking about interior decorating without missing a beat.  I was impressed.
