The Ruger LC9 has made quite the boom in the firearm industry. It seems that every girl and her sister either owns or wants one. I’ve seen a lot of them showing up my classes lately; so when Armed in Heels asked if I was interested, it seemed only natural to do a write-up on the LC9 .
My review has been written based on performance in both the hands of the beginner shooters as well as experienced shooters, including my own. As I write more gun reviews, you will notice that most of them will be approached from this same angle. Amongst the ramblings of pros and cons of the gun, I will also point out whether the design is a good option for the beginner, or whether it would be better suited for the novice or experienced shooter.… Read the rest

…the spike on a track shoe.
This is the story of a 15-year-old girl who has a very clear understanding of the “everything is a weapon” concept I preach about so much. She used the spikes on her track shoes to fend off a man who was attempting to kidnap her.
As long as we are talking about spikes and shoes, I would like to point out these spiked loafers.
The universal language for “Leave me the freak alone!” is a good kick to the crotch. Say “Leave me the freak alone!” louder and with more authority while wearing these glamorous babies.… Read the rest

My favorite firepower system is not available for civilian procurement, it does not fit in a holster and can not be set beside the bed for home defense. Nope, my favorite gun literally has a plane built around it.
For those of you who don’t already know, I love a well armored bird. And the A-10 Thunderbolt II (also known as the Warthog) is my favorite firepower system.
You can take your AR-15s, Desert Eagles, .44 magnum, etc. Heck, you can even have my favorite Barrett .50 BMG.… Read the rest

This is why I preach about the student to teacher ratio, as well as finding the right instructor. This is also a great example of why a teacher should never leave the students alone with guns. Had there been a co-instructor, this probably wouldn’t have happened.
