Ladies Self-Defense Informational Seminar wrote:Texas passed its Concealed Handgun License statute in 1995 and the program has been a tremendous success. Texas Concealed Handgun License holders (“CHLs”) have a twelve year history of being the most law-abiding segment of Texans, as reported by the Texas Department of Public Safety (“DPS”).

According to the DPS’ data for 2007, women comprise 18.31% of current CHLs. This percentage is up slightly from 2006 (approximately 0.6%), but far below the level that most men would expect. So why do a relatively small percentage of women choose to obtain a CHL and with it the ability to defend themselves against a violent attack? The answer seems to be a combination of a lack of knowledge, an erroneous belief that armed self-defense is beyond their physical and/or emotion capability, and a misunderstanding of Texas laws on self-defense.

To address these concerns, a self-defense information seminar with a special emphasis on issues facing women will be presented at PSC Shooting Club in Friendswood, Texas on Friday, February 20, 2009 from from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm. The purpose of this seminar is to provide an overview of issues related to self-defense including Texas law, training opportunities, selecting a firearm and method of carrying it, secure storage and carry methods when children are present, and a multitude of other questions ladies typically have when it comes to making such an important decision. As noted, this is an overview of these subjects, not an in-depth study. In short, the seminar is designed to show people what they need to learn and how to do it.

If you would like to attend, please email Charles@TexasShooting.com. There is no charge for this seminar and seating is limited, so please RSVP early. Although this seminar focuses on issues of particular interest to women, it is not limited only to women, so ladies bring the guy in your life, if you wish. Of course, if you want to tell him it's a ladies-only seminar . . .

Regards,
Charles L. Cotton

TIA
