Invariably a woman at the range will ask your advice about something, whether it be about self-defense tactics, what type of gun she should choose for competition, or if her husband was right when he told her she should get a revolver. Women will look to you as a source of expert knowledge.

This is why we encourage every Chapter Facilitator and A-Team member to become an AG & AG Certified Trainer. It is important as a leader that your training be ongoing, and that you take your training very seriously. After all, these women are often trusting you with their lives. Having proper training means that you value their trust and can show them that you are a good source of information.
