MarieClaire: Women and Guns articles

The new issue of MarieClaire has a very interesting set of articles available on its web site:

http://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a18 ... -and-guns/#

The articles go into various aspects of gun ownership and usage from a woman's perspective (but guys, you should read it too, especially if you've a woman in your life who you wish to use/carry or merely accept your interest in guns).

The magazine partnered with the Harvard Injury Control Research Center for some statistical references... including an interesting section about "what women fear" - surprise, their fears are pretty much the same as the guys! Both Hilary and Carly got to pen a few paragraphs about why they think the way they do... there's a series of vignettes about "the last time I saw her", first-person accounts of women who have lost sisters, daughters and/or mothers to mass shootings... some words about the "Rise of the Girl Gang"... an interesting piece about how the NRA is re branding with emphasis on women... a good article about "What Happened When I Tried to Buy a Gun" (she wasn't successful - everyone did what they were supposed to do!).... an article by a rape victim "I Wish I Had A Gun That Night" that details how it's all well and good for women to be able to carry, except when their college says they can't... and a great video story about a 16 year competition shooter Katie Francis, plus more.

Gun folks will like some of the articles and not some others, but in general, I thought the whole package of articles was worthwhile reading/viewing.

I hope the rest of you find something of value in the series. Congrats to the editors/staff at MarieClaire for a job well done.
