Bleg

But not for money. For "Bellicose Women".

I've been meaning for some time now to put together a post of pictures of women ("wimmenfolk" to some of y'all) with guns. I delayed because I was searching for a particular picture in my family photo collections. I finally located that picture and so it's about time I got off my skinny, pale butt and posted.

And so I'm sending out a call to all the wimmenfolk in this mah-velous audience who have occasion to go shooting and/or hunting, or perhaps just like to pose with guns ("Armed Cheesecake"), to send in pics of themselves with their favorite firearm(s). Send them in, ladies. If you have pictures of relatives or friends you think should be included, send those too, especially if they're younger ladies on their way to becoming Bellicose Women. Children are the future of the shooting sports.

Guys, I don't want you to feel left out either. If you have a better half, relative, or friend who will allow you (her "worser half") to send a picture of her armed and dangerous (or not dangerous, as long as she's armed), send it in. Not nekkid, of course.

Contact info is to the right. Let's bring the phrase, "Shoots Like a Girl" to life*.

* Hi, Kathy!

Well, not exactly the theme I was going for, but appreciated nonetheless.

Sorry, buddy. Can't help you here. My wife barely tolerates me owning guns. Best I can do is a cute actress holding two submachineguns.

When it comes to chicks with guns, the subject begins and ends with Tamara:

Be sure to check out the pic on her profile.

Such a tragedy, Bill. Too bad the only female instructor I knew in Jersey just moved south. If you can ever convince her to give it a try, I think ANJRPC has a women's day and they have a nice facility.

Bitter, surely you have some self-portraits with guns.

2YD: Great pic.

Yes, I do. But remember that I'm trying to pretend to still be anonymous. :)

You can always use this one of Spooky.

Anonymous is okay. I can always blot out identifying characteristics. But I will definitely use the one of Spooky (assuming she approves).

I assume you've got the photos of Risawn - e.g. http://www.risawn.com/2006/09/range-and-pt-test.html but there are some other more dramatic ones :)

Thanks, Francis. I'll include links to folks like Risawn and Tamara who post lots of their own, but this post will focus on those who don't normally do so.
