This past weekend, Shoot Like A Girl rolled into Glendale, Arizona, as part of its 2026 Grand Safety Tour, planting its empowering flag at the Bass Pro Shops inside the sprawling shopping complex around State Farm Stadium—the home turf of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. Picture this: amid the roar of tailgaters and the scent of fresh ammunition, hundreds of women (and plenty of supportive men) gathered for hands-on firearms training, safety demos, and a taste of the self-defense confidence that comes from pulling the trigger yourself. It’s not just an event; it’s a rolling revolution, hitting 50+ stops nationwide to shatter the myth that guns are a guy thing.

What makes this stop particularly juicy for the 2A community? Location, location, trigger finger. Hosting at Bass Pro Shops next to an NFL stadium flips the script on the urban elite’s narrative that firearms and mainstream America don’t mix—here they are, cheek-to-jowl with football fanatics, proving marksmanship is as American as game-day hot dogs. Shoot Like A Girl isn’t preaching; it’s doing, with stats showing participants are 80% more likely to own firearms post-event and overwhelmingly report boosted personal safety vibes. This tour amplifies the pro-2A push against disarmament agendas by growing the base organically—women now comprise nearly 40% of new gun buyers, per NSSF data, turning gun control lobbies into yesterday’s news. Critics might clutch pearls over arming women, but the real implication? A fortified Second Amendment front line, where empowered moms, sisters, and daughters vote with their holsters.

The ripple effects? Expect more stateside venues to court these events, normalizing range time in everyday spots and chipping away at the cultural stigma. For 2A warriors, it’s a masterclass in grassroots wins: no protests needed, just free ammo and smiling faces hitting bullseyes. If you’re near a tour stop, grab a spot—it’s not just shooting; it’s speaking woman, loud and loaded. Check shootlikeagirl.com for dates and join the surge.
