DEFEND LIFE

"For many women, concealed weapons or guns is a very scary and unfamiliar topic. We are living in a world full of violence and unexpected dangers. What are we to do to be safe? Are there ways we can be better prepared and equipped to protect ourselves and our families when danger strikes? 

I am here to say, 'Yes, yes & yes'.

I am mother and now a grandmother.  I started carrying a concealed gun for many years when I was in my twenties. I was a nurse working evenings and night shifts by downtown Seattle. I worked with terminally ill cancer patients. When I leaved work at night, my car was often the only car left in the parking lot. Inside the cancer ward, when I was in charge, I carried the only key that can open the narcotics safe. For all those years in and outside of the hospital, I felt safe. I felt safe not because I happened to have a gun with me. I felt safe because I was properly trained and adequately equipped to carry a firearm. Safety training, both psychological and practice, are fundamental.   

Heather Chinn and I were in the gun range for practice when I was visiting the east coast. Her enthusiasm was unmatched for firearms, especially for us women. Her knowledge and continuous experience in learning and teaching is outstanding. In a brief one hour session, I have regained much of my lost knowledge in basic safety and security skills in handling guns. Heather has a very comprehensive understanding in handling pistols. I am so excited and extremely proud to have a woman like Heather to step up as a role model, advocate and instructor to lead the way for other women to achieve and succeed in gun education."
