Join The Women Gun Owners Association of America

Dear Friend,

Let me tell you about a woman I met three years ago.

Her name was Maria. 37 years old. Married. Two beautiful kids.

She bought her first gun after a break-in in her neighborhood. The kind of break-in that makes you lie awake at night thinking:

"What if they'd come when we were home?"

She was terrified. But she was also determined.

So Maria did what every responsible gun owner does:

She took a concealed carry course. She learned the fundamentals. She got her permit.

She even practiced at the range a few times.

For the first month, she carried her gun everywhere. In her purse. On her hip. Even just running errands.

She was finally prepared to protect her family.

But then...

If you own a firearm—or you're thinking about getting one—I need you to hear this:

Most women stop carrying within their first year.

Not because they're weak.

Not because they don't care.

Not because they can't handle it.

They stop because they're doing it alone.

And here's what nobody in the gun industry will tell you:

You can't do this alone.

The FBI just got caught lying.

For years, they reported that "good guys with guns" stopped only 3.7% of active shooter incidents.

The media ran with it. Politicians quoted it. Gun control advocates cited it as proof that armed civilians don't make a difference.

But new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center reveals the truth:

Armed civilians actually stopped 36% of active shooting incidents from 2014-2024.

And when you exclude gun-free zones where law-abiding citizens can't carry?

Armed civilians stopped over 52% of attacks.

Let me say that again:

More than HALF of active shooter attacks are stopped by armed civilians when they're legally allowed to carry.

But you'll never hear that stat on the news.

You'll never see it in a headline.

Because it destroys the narrative.

But here's what they really don't want you to know:

The average police response time in America is 11 minutes.

In some areas? 20 minutes or more.

An active shooter incident is over in 5 minutes or less.

Do the math.

By the time law enforcement arrives, you're either alive because you defended yourself...

Or you're not.

The FBI knows it. Law enforcement knows it. The media knows it.

But they'd rather you believe that calling 911 and waiting is a viable strategy.

It's not.

Which is why being prepared isn't paranoia.

It's survival.

WGOAA has grown into a thriving national community of women who take training seriously and refuse to leave their safety to chance. More women are stepping into this space every week — not because it's trendy, but because it's responsible and it feels right.

We call ourselves The Armed Queens.

Not because we wear crowns.

But because we carry agency.

A queen governs herself. She answers to her standards. She does not wait for rescue. She does not outsource responsibility.

And when you join us, you're not just gaining access to training.

You're stepping into that identity.

You become one of us — an Armed Queen.

Let me be completely honest.

Yes, the training library is valuable.

Yes, the live Tactical Talks are worth the price alone.

Yes, having expert instructors on-call is incredible.

But that's not why women join WGOAA.

They join because they refuse to be alone.

They join because they want to be part of something bigger.

They join because they tried the "guy way" and it didn't work.

They join because they want to be surrounded by women who made the same decision they did.

They join because they're tired of:

• Feeling judged at the range
• Getting talked down to at gun stores
• Being the only woman in every training course
• Pretending they have it all figured out when they don't
• Doing this completely alone

They join because they want to be part of the sisterhood.

You can keep doing what you've been doing:

• Buying courses one at a time (and never finishing them)
• Searching YouTube for answers (and getting conflicting advice)
• Asking questions at the range (and getting mansplained to)
• Carrying for a few weeks (and then quietly quitting)

Or you can join 314 Armed Queens who made a different choice.

Women who refuse to be victims.

Women who refuse to quit.

Women who won't do this alone.

The gun industry doesn't want you to succeed.

They want you to buy the gun, take the basic course, and disappear.

Because if you actually became a confident, consistent carrier?

If you actually joined a community of armed women?

If you actually started teaching other women what you learned?

You'd be dangerous.

Not to criminals.

To the narrative.

To the lie that women can't handle this.

To the myth that you need a man to protect you.

So here's my question:

Are you ready to be dangerous?
