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.

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.

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!
