I read somewhere that 1 in every 3 women...

owns a gun. Look around at your friends. Say you have a dozen friends who happen to be women.3 of those women own a gun! Well, according to the article I read. I own a glue gun and have operated a handgun before. (Don't worry, it wasn't anything illegal. I went to a shooting range.) Does that count? edited to add my response to the first well put comment: It never said WHERE they did the research. I must hunt out the original article. What scares me is that someone will take that information and run with it. The same people who should be frequent visitors to snopes.com. Want to bet there is a mass email being forwarded somewhere?
