Carrie Lightfoot Testimonial

We are living in a time that is marked by change. In every aspect and on every level, life is not what it used to be. For women, today’s new reality requires some major changes.​ One significant change is the woman’s journey from being the protected to becoming the protector.

Carrie Lightfoot / Founder
Carolyn-Testimonial

Now in my mid-60’s, I face the hard truth that my youthful mind and aging body are at odds. Rampant evil exists; I need a means to level the field and give me a chance to survive an evil encounter. Armed Women of America is that means.

Rhonda-Testimonial

Teaching other women teaches me. Armed Women of America has afforded me opportunites to travel around the country, forge nationwide relationships, and make a feminine mark in a male dominated industry!
