Womens only pistol/carbine course

[Robert777]

Before my wife and I married, I requested her to do me a big favour. I asked her to get her RPAL and hunting license. As a gun collector, I heard too many stories of husbands passing on, and the police confiscating firearms from the wife (even though as an executor of a will, the guns would go to the wife, and she would sell them after I passed on). My wife owns a couple of rifles, and only shoots 3 times a year.
It only makes sense guys. Even if the wifey is not really into shooting. Get her to get the RPAL. YOU LOOK AFTER THE KIDS FOR THE WEEKEND.

Having said that, my wife would be interested in taking the course. The question is price and when?

Where would it be and how much?

Out of curiosity, why is there a need for a "women's only" course? Why can't women who want to get licensed attend a regular course?

Sounds like there is lots of need for a ladies PAL/RPAL course.

Because it's a more comfortable environment for them and less amount of creepy guys to ogle their ass.
Just like the need for woman's only gyms etc. Nothing new.

Because men are animals. Specifically pigs and asses.

Creating such a day does not suggest that there is a "need" but allows for confidence building in certain groups.

Typically speaking men all belong to a "men's only club" just often never nail a sign above the door for it. Many hunt camps the wives don't go; not necessarily by rule but often works that way. Guys nights with poker, booze, and smokin'.

Segregation of the sexes still exists to some facet or another; just now we don't advertise it :P. Cause then there would be a parade, and some lady who won't shower gets herself a loud speaker... it's just all bad.

That said, women do it too. They got their salons, malls, boutiques... I'm sure other places/things, I'm not a chick so don't really know them that detailed. I just know the wife has her group, I got mine; and every once in a while if we don't share time I get to push the dog over to the side his lil house out back.



Creating a channel in the way Farmboy is right now is only healthy for the encouragement of more women to get involved in the shooting sports/disciplines. It gives them an avenue to group up, meet greet, network and all that fun stuff we take for granted as "everyday common place".


TBH I wish there would be more events taking cues like this. Hey Farmboy do a Father Son/Daughter or Bring Your Mom day... wait scratch that last one... call it a "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot Day" hah hah.


NOTE: I do not intend to offend anyone speaking a lil candid on the subject of the sexes and possible stereotypical sounding text. Everyone is different in how they themselves handle life and that's great, but in general we all fall upon certain norms created by our society and that is great too! And preemptive sorry to the lady reading this with a loud speaker, but I already stole the batteries from it!

Plus / minus showering comments, that was well put, RageStation. Nothing wrong with having an event (as it was noted, this is not a licensing course / test, just skills), where a group of folks can build confidence. If that can encourage women like my wife and daughters to get into the sport, do it!

this couldn't be more accurate : )
my wife has her rpal by the way and a lot to do with what Robert777
mentioned (she does like to shoot though and we both did a pistol safety/shooting course local here lots of fun,lots of ammo)

[MikeyD895]

apparently i fall into the asses category (fat ass, big ass stinky ass and a few more)
