The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
The guy who made this seems to have not the slightest idea about the real needs of real women. As effective as this whistle may be, it just doesn't fit into a handbag. Idea rejected. Period...
Many women are raped in their own homes because they had nothing with which to stop the rapist. Personally, believe I might be tempted to aim about crotch level. Idea approved. Period.
It's a meme for frick's sake. Is one of those weird stockless short barreled scatterguns the best choice for a young lady on walkabout, of course not. But the whole point of the picture is this female is nobody's helpless victim.
On a side note, anybody else bumfuzzled that the BATFE can rule that gun is not a sawed off shotgun while at the same time ruling that a bumpstock is really a machine gun?
"anybody else bumfuzzled that the BATFE can rule that gun is not a sawed off shotgun while at the same time ruling that a bumpstock is really a machine gun?"
The BATF is a bureaucracy, first and foremost. As such, its rulings only occasionally reference objective reality, and then mostly by accident. Bureaucracies are fundamentally self-referential.
My new spouse (a grandmother) had never heard the saying "Samuel Colt made a 90 lb woman equal to a 250 lb man" before I came along. She had no idea what it meant...
Shooting that apparatus is a bitch. Some men and most women I know couldn't handle it, particularly in a stressful emergency situation. However, it beats throwing rocks -- just sayin'
Clint Smith with Thunder Ranch has a YouTube video tutorial on the proper operation of that particular firearm. Two key take aways, never ever let the rear of the gun get anywhere near your face, and always keep your off hand inside the strap. That strap is there explicitly to keep the shooter from sliding their hand too far forward and past the muzzle.

I know I'd come running to give help if I heard that 'whistle' sound!
