Things like that give me hope. The 2A is about all there is between us and a totalitarian nightmare.
It was not always the case that Democrats were so against the Second Amendment. Consider:
“The right of the citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” Hubert Humphrey – Democrat, U. S. Senator, Presidential Candidate and Vice President
Notice that Humphrey said nothing about hunting or protection from crime, but that it is a safeguard against tyranny, a view now considered to be extreme right wing, but just a typical American attitude at that time. Also, the word is arms, not guns in particular.
Going with that same point of view, here is Mr. 1984 himself:
"The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." George Orwell
But clearly, one may opine, any truly decent, well meaning and spiritual person would never condone an armed populace since that would just not be right.
“Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” Mahatma Gandhi
Have taught women self defense for years. Most important tip is that they should never wear their hair in a pony tail in an American city.
Unfortunately, the perps (male and female) like to grab their pony tail, slam them to the ground, and then beat, rape, and/or kill them.
And these days they post a video of their vicious pony tail assaults on YouTube. There are many videos of such attacks on YouTube if you want to watch them for lessons.
Anyway, glad these ladies are ready to protect themselves from such perps.
My son, martial artist, mechanical and audio engineer by day and musician by night, needs to meet a woman like the ones you show here.
At 27, time for him to settle down. He goes to the gun range, but needs to join me at church to meet good women like these.

Love it when women carry.

Tell them they can follow Eamon Curley here: https://www.instagram.com/stories/amencurley/3302025720561559863/
In those Instagram photos, he's the younger one fiddling with the cowboy hat.
BTW...I met you Michael at the first Freedom rally in WDC. I helped you go from the WH to the Capital to meet up with your posse. You're a fun guy.
Here is a link to my recently deceased brother-in-law SSgt Kenny Ruggles who traveled your path.
