Title: Guns as Equalizers

Pistols, in the 19th Century, were called “equalizers” because they made the tiniest woman equal to the biggest man. I’m not even going to say I’m a believer, because I don’t “believe” it’s true, no more than I believe 2+2=4. It just is true.

I have known three women who were murdered. I did not know them personally. One was strangled by a serial killer a few weeks after I left my job and she was hired. She was a small young woman, and for that matter, the guy who killed her wasn’t that big. I could have taken him, which is why these guys kill the weaker, such as women.

The other two were sisters, and I did meet their mother. They were raped and thrown off of a bridge by four teenagers.

In each case, if these women would have had a pistol, or even a knife, they probably would have survived. Even a two-shot, .22 derringer would have saved their lives, just with the threat of it, nothing else.

I once wrote an article about the two sisters, and made a silent bet with myself that at least one imbecile would tell me young people should not carry guns. I responded, “So you’re saying it’s okay that these women were raped and murdered, then?” and got no response.

I am reminded of the classical definition of a liberal: someone who would rather see a woman raped and strangled with her own panty-house rather than defend herself with a handgun.

I think it should be a law that everyone has to carry a concealed handgun. Sure, there’d be an adjustment period in which those genetically and character-deficient were eliminated, but in the long-run (meaning a few weeks) society would be much more peaceful.

You're not going to be carrying a Sig as a concealed weapon. I have the .357 Sig and even it's too big for CC.

I go with the Seecamp, with Magsafes. Ain't no one going to survive that, and it's tiny.

My Sig is a P230 and just perfect for my CCW. Fits nicely in my purse or on my hip, not bulky or cumbersome and perfect for my hand. : )

I still think Paxton Quigley's Pearl Handle Ladysmith .357 is a love choice as a ladies "evening out" companion. Of course an evening out with Paxton Quigley would be even better, but then I'm a guy. ;-)

Paxton Quigley......a romance novelist couldn't dream up a better name for a heroine. : )

I found a hot pink and black 9mm Sig at the gun show that I really liked.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Not to be cliche of course.

That definitely sounds like a girl gun. :-)

That Sig would match my pink Ropers perfectly.
