deal without the stressful negotiations. You will learn: * How a
lease works, and why you should never lease a car for more than
three years. * Never purchase an extended warranty (service

hire your own mechanic to check out a used car, and don't trust any
dealer guarantees. * The truth about "Factory Certified" cars and
other so-called inspected and warranted vehicles. * This book

transactions that the tenth vehicle should be paid for from the
savings on the rest

Let's face it, even in this day and age, sexism still exists.
Women can be ignored, talked down to, or misinformed about many
things cloaked under the guise of male-dominated
markets-particularly gun buying and ownership.
But owning a gun isn't a guy thing. It's a right and privilege
to which we all are entitled, regardless of gender, and women need
to approach the shopping and shooting scenarios with confidence so
they can make informed decisions; avoid costly mistakes; and,
ultimately, realize the joy, security, and peace of mind that come
with gun ownership.
A positive, easy-to-use guide for first-time or novice gun
buyers, "A Woman's Guide to Gun Ownership" empowers women with the
knowledge they need to shop for, purchase, and own a firearm. It
explains the fundamentals of how guns work, the different types of
firearms available, and their usage for home defense, as well as
offering tips for how to combat bias when talking with gun shop
employees, friends, and family members.
Additional features of this must-read text include interviews
with female gun owners and information on websites, clubs,
organizations, and other resources to which women can turn to
further expand and understand their ownership experience.
