Handgun as an Option for Women?

I am not advocating a handgun for each and every person, but it is a viable option that is available for some women. We can't make a blanket statement that a handgun is for everyone nor can a blanket statement be made that is for no one. The proper use (understanding, selection, training) can very well save your life.

The following is an excerpt of a book on the subject:

Many books on handguns are not for beginners, and especially beginners who are women. This book attempts to fill that void in the marketplace by providing advice to women beginners who are considering purchasing a handgun. This book is also useful for men who have women in their lives for which a handgun would be useful.

We do not delve extensively into your motivation for purchasing a handgun. By acquiring this book, you have a need for a self-defense handgun for whatever reason or simply want a firearm for plinking or target shooting. We won’t get much into the basic theory of firearms, ballistics and self-defense. Nor we delve into the fundamentals of guns and marksmanship. There are plenty of books that cover those subjects.

Also, this is not a book on the philosophy and politics of gun ownership. We do not even make the basic value judgment that women (or men) should or shouldn’t possess firearms. Again, there is plenty of space and resources in the media that focus on these issues.

The important thing to buy handgun is only to self-defense which is very much beneficial especially for women nowadays. It does not matter that women do not know to operate a handgun, after handgun operation training women can easily operate the handgun and protect herself.
