Am I lost? I am confused or missing out on some information that others have and I don't? I hear this so often in gun stores, gun shows, forum, and other avenues where guns are mentioned and discussed.
On what seems to be a continuous basis I hear or read people say "when my wife needs it all she has to do is pull the trigger and it will go bang", or "when I'm not home my wife won't have to worry about jams or racking a slide, she just needs to pull the trigger". Is this something that men don't want also? During a self defense encounter would a jam or other malfunction be something men would not mind encountering or won't affect their ability to properly defend themselves? Perhaps during a violent self defense encounter an unfortunate malfunction would cause a man to gracefully dive under a parked vehicle while performing a tap, rack, bang technique in midair, while a woman would stand there and scream?
Perhaps there is a legitimate view that some females do not have an interest in wanting to learn how to operate a more complex weapon or learn a series of functions needed to make a semi-automatic handgun operational. Perhaps some women want to learn but are lacking a willing teacher.
At the end of the day I fail to understand why any individual male or female would give a simple and reliable tool to a fellow loved one while walking out the door with the same tool fashioned in higher complexity.
