Over the last 35 years or so, America has seen a very quiet revolution: the state-by-state growth of Second Amendment freedom in the form of Right-to-Carry (RTC) laws. Women in particular have reason to celebrate and support these laws (and ask that their representatives do the same) for a simple reason: Right-to-Carry laws are women’s rights laws. 
Specifically, these laws support women in our most vulnerable state: as people for whom “Refuse To Be A Victim” isn’t just a state of mind, but an ongoing situation. Here’s why.
Virginia anti-Second Amendment politicians aren’t interested in tackling crime or helping the Virginia economy recover. Instead, in an almost comically tone-deaf move, these politicians have made it harder—yes, harder!—for women to protect themselves and their families against violent criminals.

Meanwhile … A 25-year-old woman was waiting at a bus stop when a man approached her, displayed a weapon and attempted to rob her. Unfortunately for him, the woman was a licensed concealed-carry holder and, in fear for her life, drew her firearm and shot the man once, striking him. Surveillance cameras located at a nearby pharmacy documented the lead up to the exchange, as well as the aftermath. Our weekly women-only Armed Citizen column has the full story.

Leupold's latest entry for America's rifle hunters is the new VX-3HD line of scopes. The VX-3HD series was designed for hunters who need to take shots at dawn and dusk ... which is, of course, all of us. What else do we need in our optics? Toughness and light weight. That's what the VX-3HD, just launched for 2021, is here to deliver. What's more, it's coming at an MSRP that's far lower than what you might expect to pay for optics of this quality. Learn more about this affordable optic here.
