Top 10 Gun Blogs for Women

Screen Shot 2013-10-13 at 12.38.15 PMThe Cornered Cat   Out of my favorite top 10 Gun Blogs for women, The Cornered Cat is my very favorite of all! The Cornered Cat is about women and guns, not about cats. But in a way, it’s about the cornered cat in all of us. It’s about the determination to get away from an attacker if you need to. It’s about making the decision to say, “Not me. Not mine. Not today.” And it’s about the tools to make that decision stick. The author of the site is Kathy Jackson. She is a firearms instructor, a home school mom, a small business owner, a former magazine editor, and a freelance writer.  She has over 120 chapters in her Table of Contents. She cover’s topics ranging from basic firearm safety to legal issues surrounding self-defense to raising children around guns to the moral implications of deadly force and much, much more. Kathy is educating and inspire people to take personal responsibility for their own lives and their own safety.

Think of it this way: if one day Vogue and Guns&Ammo Magazine fell madly in love, got married and had babies, this would be their favorite child. Whether you’re a champion shooter or have never picked up a gun in your life, they have got something for you. They are a little different from other gun sites. They strive to offer you a wide variety of firearm info in a whole new way.

She is one of the most popular and prolific female gun enthusiasts on YouTube.  She  grew up around firearms, but when she purchased her first handgun, a Kimber SIS Pro 1911, her passion for the shooting sports was ignited. Now, she is an avid shooter, self defense advocate, and 2nd Amendment supporter. Destinee is a perpetual student, and enjoys burying herself in firearms research, expanding her gun knowledge, and sharing the information she’s learned with others.

Screen Shot 2013-10-13 at 12.58.19 PMFalia Reviews  Falia shares information on concealed carry firearms, gear, and survival.  Her goal is to help prepare for a sustainable future in an uncertain world. She strives for health, happiness, simplicity, and self reliance. Before she was into guns, she lived and traveled in a VW van for several years, as a result, her blog contains so many posts about mobile-living as well.  Her site caught my eye because she has one of the most amazing collections of conceal carry holster reviews, she organizes them by both holster and type of gun.  She also has examples of different outfits a woman might wear, and how they would conceal firearms.

Screen Shot 2013-10-13 at 12.32.56 PMArmed Candy began with one girl, Gabby Marcuus, who was curious about firearms. She had lots of questions but was forced to hunt for each answer.  She knew she couldn’t be the only one.  So she started collecting and sharing her discoveries, and a community soon grew. As ArmedCandy developed, so did Gabby’s knowledge of shooting and the related industry.  She began to realize that the world of firearms lacked the products female shooters desired.  So Gabby took her background in design and her excitement about guns, and got down to business.  ArmedCandy is a great source of information. Though growing, ArmedCandy strives to keep the perspective of an everyday girl. Additionally, Gabby is preparing to open The ArmedCandy Shop which will offer products that are hand selected or specifically designed for the ArmedCandy community. Go check out Gabby and her team of contributors!
