Best Idea of the Day: Women Only Firearms Camps

Now this is a great idea and should deter all those rapists and muggers. A woman packing heat is a beautiful thing. The three-day camps, which cost £400, are exploding across the country and in January next year a US TV show will begin documenting the female gun trend. "It started with one camp in 2004 and now we're planning 15 to 20 camps for 2010," said Debbie, who has helped recruit over 1,000 women to the shooting world. "Women love it. We get schoolteachers, lawyers, nurses, women from all walks of life. The gun is the great equalizer for a woman. It doesn't matter how big and powerful her attacker is as long as he isn't on speed or something a woman can take him down with one shot. Those crazy boyfriends and stalkers would think twice if a girl shows them their arsenal and their willingness to use it.
