So... women are allowed to defend themselves with guns... unless they are being paid to do it, in which case only men are good enough?
Women can't physically do what men do. I wouldn't trust my life to a woman in a combat situation as much as a man any more than I would expect a woman to be able to work 70 to 80 hours a week in my repair shop on cars. Women don't have the mental nor physical stamina.
Yet, they have much more patience when it comes to kids. Maybe it's God's way of telling us something.
I hate it that in our ass backwards society, being a good mother is somehow not as "honorable" as working a job. I think mothers have the most important job in the world, for the sake of societal stability and posterity.
