I congratulated her with a high five, which she smiled and returned.
Your story, and mine, are not the first I have heard of widow ladies getting on up in years getting an LTC as of late. Do you think this might be a new trend?
It's going to be a trend if I have anything to say about it. Ladies need to be able to defend themselves, especially if they don't have me hanging around all the time. Ha-ha! By the way, I'm 72, and the lady I mentioned at the beginning of this post (the friend I was walking with) is 85. The neighbor lady with the new LTC looks about 55-60 at the most.
Women are the fastest growing demographic for LTC. I have recommended to all of my female friends that they should get their license, women are targeted by criminals more often than men because they are viewed as less likely to be able to fight back. (I don't share that opinion)
I think that most women still see shooting and the carrying of guns, a man's domain, but those attitudes are changing and I think it's great and encourage women every chance I get.
