There are handgun courses aimed specifically at women. They
have a different approach and some teach threat avoidance as well.
There are also some books written for women. Many manufacturers have
come out with guns and accessories aimed at the female gun owner.
Smith & Wesson have a line of revolvers called "Ladysmith". There are
handbags with integral holsters and of course holsters made for thigh
mounting under a skirt.


	One of the leaders in training women is Paxton Quigley. She
gives a one day course on gun use, threat avoidance and safety.
Her course costs $100.00 plus range fees. If you don't have a pistol
for the course, they will issue you a loaner.
