I know several officers in my department who run CCW courses, and weapons (Mostly hand gun) familiarization courses. I also know several of them also sell surplus military, security or LEO equipment. And several ranges in the area-mostly the more upscale places-offer courses in this vein. I think I know a guy who runs a "Defensive Driving" school, that specializes in teaching people how to drive VIP's in formal settings, and "anti-terrorism" (His words not mine) driving techniques and tactics.
My wife has recently expressed interest in some of these. |

I'm not a lady, but I do live in Canada's highest violent crime capital. I'll let people here drawn their own conclusions.

Ironically, I live in NYC. This city is known for violence, bloodshed, & generally being an inhospitable place to outsiders. The number of CCW licenses here is TINY. As for which ladies would sign up for these lessons... ironically again, not a lot would I think in this city.

Not being a resident of New York I may be mistaken, but isn't it fairly illegal to possess a firearm (registered or not) within the city limits of NYC? |

If you have a license, you may own a firearm in NYC. NYC Gun laws. If you are asking about a CCW, that's a whole another migraine and a half. |

In short, NY City requires a license to own any sort of firearm, whereas the rest of the state only requires licenses for Handguns.
Which is why when I moved from Texas to Westchester, NY I kept my shotgun but had to sell my pistols, cos the process for getting a handgun permit in NY is a massive gigantic pain in the ass, and unlike most other states they do NOT accept out-of-state licenses for any reason. There are technically Concealed Carry licenses, but good luck in getting one. It's generally not really possible to actually ban firearm ownership completely in the United States. We have this Amendment protecting the right to bear arms, you see. The most they can do is make it difficult to obtain a permit. -k |

I did learn from a female friend that a .22 round will fit perfectly in a plastic/cardboard tampon. Don't know how she figured it out or why... I didn't want to know. |
