I just returned from the College Republican's first meeting of the year. BTW, I go to a small private school, Oklahoma City University. Back to the topic, I brought a recent campus newspaper article to the attention of the nearly 30 students present. The article, entitled "I know why you need your guns," was very poorly written and oozed of the typical liberal idealism found among today's ignorant youth. 
A good discussion ensued and due to a little spark, the editor will probably receive a few more letters than the one I am currently writing. Unfortunately, the liberal he!! that is academia will be most uninviting. BUT, our efforts may enlighten those who choose to listen to a concise and logical arguement and if one individual sees the light, then our efforts will not be in vain. 
Secondly, a criminal justice major that I am acquainted with informed me of her decision to purchase a handgun this week. After finding out her "dream gun"
is a *&* Sigma in .40 cal, I asked her to stay for a short while after the meeting so we could discuss the issue at hand. I divulged the secrets of the deal that *&* knowingly bought into and the consequences that this manufacturer is currently facing (the closure of one of their plants, the loss of over half of their handgun distribution, etc). We also discussed the implications of this deal and how it might effect our future right to keep and bear arms. In Oklahoma, we would say that I "egeeeecated her." She still seems to want the Sigma because she has small hands but has allowed me a few days to locate a used one if I can get it any cheaper than a local dealer. I shoot IPSC and IDPA twice a month at this particular dealer's range but my convictions remain at the heart of *&*'s betrayal and they deserve no more business.
I just wanted to share what I considered two successful stands for RKBA and our nation's future.
NOTE: There may still be a chance to convince her to drop the Sigma in favor of something else.
I might take her to Outdoor America and have her try a few different weapons and possibly different calibers. I have a few ideas, but does anybody have any propositions for a gun that would fit small hands and serve as a nice sidearm for a 21 year old single female?

"The great German poet, Goethe, who also lived through a crisis of freedom, said to his generation: 'What you have inherited from your fathers, earn over again for yourselves or it will not be yours'. We inherited freedom. We seem unaware that freedom has to be remade and re-earned in each generation of man."
