Why Handguns?
People are interested in the use of handguns for any number of the following reasons, in the listed order of popularity: · Personal protection · Recreational shooting · Competition Shooting · Hunting · Collecting.
Women tend to be overwhelmingly motivated by the first reason --- personal protection. There is the recognition of the need to be self-reliant in taking responsibility for the protection of self, family and home. And there is a recognition that they can do more to protect themselves from the criminal element that can potentially accost them when they are away from home in their daily activities.

Pepper spray is a worthy self-defense tool but it has its limitations.

Stun guns are often ineffective. Knives and batons require an inordinate amount of training and expertise to use effectively. Long guns can do the job but are impractical as carry weapons. You can’t put these things in your purse or your pocket.

Shotguns are good for home defense and certainly should be considered. However, handguns can be effective as home weapons and have the added benefit of possible double duty as a carry tool and the comparative ease of storage at home, which is important especially if there are children living in the house.

Certainly, women do participate in recreational shooting and hunting, especially those who were raised in rural areas where gun ownership is a normal part of daily life. However, among newbies, women comprise a very small minority of the participants in these endeavors. Such is also the case with competition shooting and arms collecting.
 

Firearm Fundamentals:
"Five Musts" For Firearm Self-Defense

1. Safety -- Live By It: "Having a gun in your hands is a tremendous responsibility. Recognize and accept that responsibility in each moment."

2. Learn To Shoot: Get the best training you can afford: "Contrary to what we see on TV, shooting is neither easy nor is it intuitive. Learning proper techniques, especially for self-defense, is critical. Start with fundamentals. Then learn to shoot for your specific real-world applications."

3. Know Your Firearm: "Train with your firearm. Beyond shooting, you'll need to know how to handle gun jams and malfunctions and other issues that could rear their ugly heads at critical moments." See Rule #5.

4. Keep Your Firearm In Good Working Order: "Make sure that your firearm is clean, and that all systems work properly. Have a gunsmith do a complete check every one or two years. Replace your ammunition every few months."

5. Understand that all mechanical things can break. Take the time and learn about W.E. Fairbairn. His teaching has been proven in war and has lasted the tests of time.

Shooting is not a cheap activity, but then your life has a very high value to you and your loved ones. If you are lucky, you live in a state that allows law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed firearm.
For women this is empowerment and helps you control your own safety. 
Proper training is the key to a woman correctly and effectively  learning how to shoot and carry a firearm for protection.
