And you know this how? I said it’s good to practice how to reload, not that you would have to. You need to chill. Your soap box is super high...

A woman with a "bedside gun" isn't going to train to reload under stress.
It's also good to learn to shoot off hand while riding a unicycle too just in case.
I think I've earned a soap box in this field of expertise.
What have you done your whole life for a career? You should chime in on that subject. I promise I won't say I know better than you.

That's it. On your advice, I'm buying a unicycle if the one in my brother's museum isn't usable.

Have you seen Pat McNamara ride a unicycle? It's pretty funny.

I got a $50 that says you would. You always do. What are your soapbox credentials? I own a gun. I shoot it. I am an expert.

Why wouldn't/couldn't a "woman" train to do anything? Are you saying women are lazy and won't train with their firearms?

I like to think a whole career training to re-hijack airplanes as an Air Marshal for a living would account for something.
A job that revolves around specialized self defense shooting and dynamic offensive shooting. But you don't know me, that's fine.

You lost scope of this whole thing. I didn't say practicing reloading isn't good.
I'm talking about in a home invasion scenario. I think we all can assume that's what is meant by a "Bedside gun", for a wife. Hell, I have seen female Air Marshals get crushed under pressure. You can't tell me that one little class for someone will give them the confidence and ability to act successfully.
I know people. I didn't say women don't train. PEOPLE in general are lazy. It's not a priority.
You need a fool proof, EASY weapon to help you in that situation. KISS principle
So because of my training and experience, I get enthusiastic.
I'll get off my soapbox now, I'm sure I'll need it later.

They don't have time to train with their firearms. They're too busy cooking and cleaning.

*****I knew he was kidding! And I'm one of those people who think a decent revolver is a great choice for the average not into shooting, or practicing individual as a bedside firearm. It's unlikely you will need to reload to fend off hordes of home invaders after the first shot goes off and you either drop the person, or the noise just scares them enough to realize the next shot might not miss or might end them.

I'm not privy to the thoughts of a criminal mastermind, but if I'm a criminal and I know I shouldn't be somewhere - someone shooting at me in their own home, me most likely NOT knowing the layout of said home, and not to mention a bedroom door or hallway is basically a fatal tunnel as we teach in class - I'd be hightailing my ass outta that place like Usain Bolt at the Olympics and looking for an easier score, or a more honest line of work like my Jizz-Mopper example in another thread!

I"m no sexist, I think a revolver is a decent choice for *anyone* who isn't really a gun person, but wants to be able to defend themselves if something happens that requires the use of a firearm..

That being said, and to show how much I appreciate the women in my life who often end up being the dishwasher for whatever reason.. I'm pretty happy just putting a load in the dishwasher to show that I care as often as I can!!!.... :innocent0

Every real man should be helping out like this IMO, but I'm old fashioned that way.... :thumbsup:

Why do women have small feet?

So they can stand closer to the sink.

Careful, that sort of thing can put you way too close to the bucket.

The * Woman * part isn't really an issue ( other than perhaps the ergonomic standard deviation thing , but there is still overlap there ) .

The controlling factor is " person who went thru their whole life with zero experience with guns , having a sudden externally influenced desire for a * bedside gun * ) is not likely to persue more than the minimum necessary initial familiarization .
