<p><strong>Have you ever been forced</strong> to reckon with the the hero within the woman.  We call this a <strong>SHERO</strong>.  A shero to us are women that have faced horrifying, life threatening and life changing situations, yet soldier on despite of them.  One of our most adored S-H-E-M-A Gurls member &#8220;Diana&#8221; once called US her sheros. This statement has never been taken lightly, because to be a hero of any fashion or form, you would have had to made a difference in the lives of others or your own.</p>
<p><strong>This blog is dedicated to women that have <strong>OVERCOME</strong></strong> and while overcoming, are still helping others. It is also a tool to teach women how to protect themselves while implementing the confidence and skills to do so.  This blog is also a reminder that sisterhood is key to achieving goals.  With sisterhood we understand that working together not only builds self character, but it also builds a stronger SHERO in YOU.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We have recently had the honor of meeting a woman that has fit this profile to a &#8220;T&#8221;&#8230;.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><strong>Elsie Allen</strong>, the founder of &#8220;Sisters SOS&#8221;</strong> (sisters supernaturally overcoming situations).  Her mission is to provide women with information, tools and training essential for a safe and secure life.  The vision of Sister’s S.O.S is to prepare women today and future generations of women with a safety plan of action that will help them avoid danger if possible, defend themselves if necessary and most importantly, know how to survive unsafe situations.</p>

<p><strong>Sisters SOS</strong> want to always recognize the women who have made a difference in your lives by sharing these stories of encouragement with others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a known fact that most crime victims are women. <em>What can we do to protect ourselves and feel safe?</em> Well for most of us it&#8217;s having a gun around that will help. It is also a new phenomenon of women gun owners for a lot of different reasons. More women are packing heat just to feel safe. If you live in a high crime area, live alone or have been victimized before you are probably one of them. It&#8217;s not just a fashion statement.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-120 aligncenter" title="woman_gun" src="http://www.shemagurls.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/woman_gun-294x300.jpg" alt="woman_gun" width="294" height="300" /></p>
<p>The law says you can shoot to kill if you are in reasonable danger. Although carrying a gun may make you feel at ease experts warn if you aren&#8217;t prepared to pull the trigger, you shouldn&#8217;t own a gun.</p>
<p>If you are a woman and are thinking about owning a gun you should first get the proper training. This will solve a lot a problems like trigger happy fingers or being  just too scared to even pull the trigger when danger is staring you right in the face.</p>
<p>~ How do you feel about women and guns?<br />
~ What do feel is reasonable danger to use a gun?<br />
~ Have you ever been victimized?<br />
~ What about the issue of having guns in the home with small children, how can we protect them from unneccessary harm?<br />
~ Are you a woman gun owner and does it make you feel safe or are you still hesitant about using it or carrying it on your person?<br />
~ How do you feel about the President&#8217;s Stand on Gun Control?</p>
<p><strong>Please use the comment area here to share with us your feelings on women and guns for protection and safety.</strong></p>
