The Women’s Gun Show Episode #69: HidingHilda on Stalking, Vera Bradley and Driving a Pick-up

On this week’s show, Barbara Baird converses with Dawn Hillyer, proprietor of Hiding Hilda, a new concealed carry purse company, about why she created the fashionable line of quilted bags – along with lifestyle changes that caused her to think about self-protection.

Carrie Lightfoot joins Barbara to talk about hot news and cool products, plus … Julie Golob contributes another Tip Time, about the necessity of lists for shooting events. Sponsored by NRA Women and Ruger.

 

 

Carrie is back from northern California, where she participated in The Well Armed Woman state shoot. She is concerned about friends, family and TWAW chapter members affected by Hurrican Irma and Harvey.

Barb is fresh off a dove hunting trip with Remington Outdoor Company in Texas, and relates a story or two about the hunt.
