So sign up with the NFA MIRQ program to get the certification you will need to get your field carry permit. We're working on it, and the MIRQ program is a long step toward what you want. It's in Canadian Firearms Journal XVII-2.

That's truth.

See the MIRQ program, and the "For Women Only" section on the www.nfa.ca web page.
