It's no longer P.C. but you still feel a manly responsibility for the safety of the women you love and care about.

Wife, girl friend, mother, sister. You want to protect them but you can't be with them all the time.

You're worried about their personal security because THEY don't seem to --- at least not as much as they should.

How do you open their eyes? How do you make them more aware of their own personal security?

Here are five dumb ways that don't work...

• Surprise her with a handgun you like: "I have selected this Sigarms 9mm for you."
• Put a knife in her purse: "This will make you safe."
• Take her to a militia meeting: "Self-defense is a political issue!"
• Teach her jungle skills: "This is how you sharpen a bamboo spear."
• Toughen her up with SWAT videos like"Gut Ripper"

Here are five smart ways that work...

• Face the fact that YOU, as a MAN, cannot be her role model. She needs a WOMAN as a role model. Paxton Quigley has been there, done that, and written about it (Morley Safer didn't call her "The Great Persuader" for nothing).
• Start with information - give her one or both of Paxton's books. In California, get her to listen to Paxton's radio call-in show.
• Let HER select the self-defense hardware of her choice from Paxton's free catalog.
• As a special treat, offer to send her to one of Paxton's Empowerment Seminars.
• Even better, go with her! (Paxton only teaches women and couples)
