Seven Women Sound Off on Gun Safety Part 6: Education is Key

By Jenn Jacques

As part of the Bearing Arms Against Domestic Violence campaign, we’re running a 7-part series on how seven prominent women in the firearms industry, hunting world and Second Amendment advocacy groups handle gun safety in their own homes.

In part 6, we asked Jana Waller, Julie Golob, Stacy Washington, Natalie Foster, Shaneen Allen, Katie Pavlich and Nikki Goeser to share their personal philosophy on firearms training and gun safety.

What is your personal philosophy on firearms training? Do you think it’s a good idea for people who aren’t gun owners to take a gun safety or training class?

WALLER: I think most people who are fighting for stronger gun control simply do not know guns. If they became more familiar with firearms personally I believe they would understand that the guns themselves are a positive thing. They would know what to do if by chance they found a gun and quite possibly desire to become a gun owner after taking a class. There is so much negative stigma in the media about guns but if we could educate the public about safety and have the “good guys” carry as much as the bad guys I truly believe this country would be much safer.
