A Woman's Guide to Gun Ownership - Paperback

by Zoltan Fogassy (Author)

Let's face it, even in this day and age, sexism still exists. Women can be ignored, talked down to, or misinformed about many things cloaked under the guise of male-dominated markets-particularly gun buying and ownership.

But owning a gun isn't a guy thing. It's a right and privilege to which we all are entitled, regardless of gender, and women need to approach the shopping and shooting scenarios with confidence so they can make informed decisions; avoid costly mistakes; and, ultimately, realize the joy, security, and peace of mind that come with gun ownership.

A positive, easy-to-use guide for first-time or novice gun buyers, A Woman's Guide to Gun Ownership empowers women with the knowledge they need to shop for, purchase, and own a firearm. It explains the fundamentals of how guns work, the different types of firearms available, and their usage for home defense, as well as offering tips for how to combat bias when talking with gun shop employees, friends, and family members.

Additional features of this must-read text include interviews with female gun owners and information on websites, clubs, organizations, and other resources to which women can turn to further expand and understand their ownership experience.
