This must come as a surprise to the spouses and partners of those of us who do own firearms, and the women who shoot for fun, practical purposes, or both. Don&#8217;t get started on Pink Pistols, you&#8217;ll just confuse him. One would think as an Afghan Vet and former Naval Reserve Officer he&#8217;d have a better appreciation of firearms and the Constitution, and perhaps he does.
