God bless 'em........
Grandmothers Konnie Couch and Robin Willoughby, 52 and 57, from Aurora in Dearborn County sit next to each other in matching pink shirts and chat about their businesses, grandchildren, illnesses. And their guns.
Both women have concealed carry licenses and carry their handguns with them at all times. And they know how to use them.
Couch and Willoughby are the founders of a new local group, Women Armed and Ready, or WAR. After both women were robbed around 2011, they decided they were tired of being victims and didn't want to see others go through what they did. After two years of development, they held their first meeting May 6.
"The thing of it is, bad things happen to good people all the time, and, if something bad is going to happen, it's gonna happen without warning," Couch said. "It's gonna be very quick, and you've gotta be prepared for it."

Amen, my friend! The better we can teach and equip, the less we'll have to do when the SHTF!

You go grannies. But the rest of us had better be careful not to underestimate the older generation, the fairer sex, or blonds for that matter.
Study the picture below. See the natural blond granny with the pony tail? She's registering for an indoor Glock league match. She shot a G19. That's the compact Glock, 4" barrel. Want to guess her score? And we shot at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25yds, btw. 490/500. She only had two shots out of the A/B rings.

Seems there should be a way to include folks like these in state's definitions of Militia.
Call it the Senior Brigade or something.
(spoken as one of them)

One of those ladies is younger than I am .
Heck, my Mother has her CCW in Fla.
