ARMED & FEMALE II
NEVER AN EASY TARGET
There are more guns than there are people in the United States.
Guns are a fact of life here because of the Second Amendment. Many Americans love their guns, while plenty of other Americans loathe them. Gun sales jumped during the early months of the Pandemic, and continued to rise even after the country returned to work. First-time buyers made up more than 20% of all purchases. Gun violence and intimate partner violence statistics are inseparable, affecting millions of women, families and communities. Because of this harsh reality, many women who would never dream of owning a firearm have joined the ranks of first-time gun owners. Federal background checks for gun purchases hit an all-time high of twenty-one-million in 2020, and almost ten million of these new purchasers were women.
If you’re one of these women, or if you’re considering joining the millions of American women who’ve taken their lives and personal safety into their own hands, Armed & Female II: Never an Easy Target will help guide you—from making the initial decision to choosing the right firearm and finding the right path for learning how to shoot and care for your gun.
Because when it comes to self-defense, what you don’t know can hurt you.
