I came across a great opinion article on Pew Pew Tactical, and there are lots of comments on the post with valuable points. The author herself came across an article on another gun blog, written by a man, suggesting that certain concealed carry options are not possible due to the way women's bodies are shaped. Unfortunately, this type of misinformation is more than common in the community. Fortunately, the number of women who own guns is increasing, and in turn, we are getting more and more involved in the media produced relating to us. The following is a snippet of the PPT article.
