Concealed Carry for Women
I am going out on another limb here, but am going to say it anyway – men and women are different. Men are bigger, on average stronger, wear different clothing, and even think differently about self defense. For these reasons, women should look at concealed carry differently than men.
Size and Strength
On average women are smaller than men. Going along with that, it is simple physics that if a person is bigger they are generally stronger. For this reason, women should think about smaller caliber weapons. There are several reasons for this.
Smaller calibers weigh less. A Desert Eagle is going to feel like a cinder block to a smaller woman, both from the size and weight factor. If it is uncomfortable to carry, there is more chance she is going to “forget” it and leave it behind. A compact .38 revolver will seem much less of a burden to a woman.
MILLER: Ted Cruz targeted by Politifact over gun crime facts cited to Jay Leno
Left-leaning Politifact twisted itself in knots to declare Sen. Ted Cruz’s data on gun prosecutions declining under President Obama as “mostly false.”
In fact, the Republican senator correctly stated on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Nov. 8 that “Under President Bush, prosecution of gun crimes was 30 percent higher than it is under President Obama.”
Politifact first accused Mr. Cruz of “cherry picking” by comparing the year with the highest number of prosecutions under President George W. Bush, which was 11,015 in 2004, to the 7,774 under Mr. Obama in 2012.
To make his point, the senator can choose to take the highest number in the Bush administration. But there is no debating that if Mr. Cruz selected any year from 2002 to 2008, it would have shown more prosecutions than 2012.
“The point of this data is that more can be done to target violent criminals, and this administration has not made that a priority,” Mr. Cruz’s spokesman, Catherine Frazier, told me Friday. “The senator believes that our focus must be on prosecuting those who commit gun crimes, not taking away the Second Amendment rights of those who follow the laws.”
