One Woman’s Gun Story

Not your typical women’s magazine story…

Being a woman with a gun gave me power and strength in a throwback environment where females were viewed, defiantly, as the weaker sex. The most memorable Valentine’s Day gift I ever received was a black nylon fanny pack designed to hold a gun. For my live-in, gun-nut boyfriend, it was a grand romantic gesture and an encore, of sorts, to his Christmas present, a .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol. I had hoped for the new “lady friendly” hammerless Smith & Wesson .38 revolver, but the fanny pack would have to do.
