Hey all you Texas women! The Appleseed project is coming to a town near you. In fact October is bringing the Appleseed to beautiful and scenic 
Fredericksburg, Texas.
Normally a lot of emphasis is placed on learning handgun skills but often you will find that very little or no emphasis is placed on the need to learn rifle skills, especially when it comes to women. The reason why you usually see more emphasis placed on handgun skills than rifles is because handguns are most often associated with self-defense where as rifles are more often associated with hunting.

Carrying a weapon, whether concealed or in your vehicle, comes with a lot of responsibility. You not only have to think of your safety but the safety of
those around you. When I say the safety of those around you, I mean in the case of having to use your gun for self-defense.

I have taught quite a few women and men classes that cover everything from what a bullet is to advanced classes of armed self-defense. It is in 
teaching the newest of the new students that you learn new methods of teaching. Often when I have a new student, and I will admit that often these students are women, they exhibit a fear of the gun its self but also a fear of the noises at a range.

All of us gun owners enjoy our gun rights or what is left of them now. It is a constant struggle to defend those rights. Not only is it a battle to defend gun
rights but it is our duty. We often take for granted the few liberties we still enjoy in relation to our guns. In some ways we have made great strides to regain some gun rights. As of right now 49 states have "right to carry" laws. I know you can guess the one state that does not have right to carry yet.

Most people today live very busy lives and like to spend the time they do have free doing things they enjoy. For
those of us that are gun enthusiasts that means we like to go shooting or hunting with our free time, not cleaning.
The problem is that when we come back from enjoying our free time we have to clean the guns or rifles. Most people don't like to clean guns they just like to shoot guns.
I can't say that I like to clean guns but I can say that I enjoy the thought of a clean and usable gun. I especially enjoy a gun that is reliable because I know it is clean and well maintained.
I pay attention to my guns when I am shooting. I watch for anything that is out of the normal. Keeping my guns well maintain is like adding to my security. I want to know that my gun will fire and not jam when I may need it most.
I have mentioned it before that we live on a small homestead. That small homestead keeps me very busy. With such a busy life it sometimes seems impossible to find time to clean guns if you look at it as yet one more chore.
What I finally did was not look at cleaning my guns like a chore but rather another opportunity us check my guns. When I started to look at it differently I found I actually reminded myself to clean my carry gun or the gun that I shot at the range or even the gun that I loaned to someone. Yes, I double check to make sure the gun is cleaned to my standard because I could be the person depending on that gun some day.
With this train of thought I looked forward to getting to handle and clean my XD sub-compact again. I haven't used it but I have been carrying it so I am sure it has collected some dust and lint and who knows what else.
Well, let me grab one of them guns and get to cleaning...........................
