Legally Armed In Detroit Trains 1400 Women in Safe Gun Handling

It is perhaps the first step toward a concealed carry license for some people. Metro-Detroit Rights Group Intros 1,400 Women to Gun Safety: Free Training

[Rick] Ector launched this program in 2012 after viewing a local story on the news in which it was reported that a woman’s body was recovered on a street; she was sexually assaulted and killed. Ector spoke with a few fellow firearm instructors and hatched a plan to train interested women about personal protection for free.

The first year he bought ammo with his own money. Only 50 women attended. To date, there have been 9,000 women introduced to shooting via Rick Ector's program.

This program was used as a model to start a similar series of training classes in Atlanta.
