In this week’s show, firearms trainer Stacy Bright steps in to substitute for Carrie Lightfoot, and talks to the show’s other host, Barbara Baird, about what women want on the range – in regard to training, attitude and gear. The pair also discuss trending news in the firearms world, and talk about cool products and upcoming events. Sponsored by Ruger.
Stacy Bright is on the right, smiling at another self-protector at a recent The Well Armed Woman event.

Stacy found a cache of morel mushrooms and enjoyed them later, dipped in cracker crumbs/egg combo and fried in bacon grease.
Stacy explains that women want to be treated like men, as far as respect and concern for knowledge levels, when they go to ranges or to gun stores.
Here are some tips that she gives:
