There are two types of women who will see this page…

Those who keep avoiding the handgun in the closet — hoping they'll "figure it out someday"…

And those who block out 90 minutes this Saturday and walk away knowing exactly how to handle it safely.

We bet you already know which one sleeps better at night.

Woman defending her home
The Uncomfortable Truth
Owning a gun does not automatically make you safer. Knowing how to use it does.

You know that "having it in the house" is not the same as knowing how to use it.

You know avoiding it is not a plan.

You know that hoping you'll "figure it out later" is exactly how women stay stuck for months… or years.

Meanwhile, you're probably thinking:

"I have a gun, but I'm scared to even touch it."

"I want to learn, but I don't know where to start."

"I'm overwhelmed by all the information out there."

"I don't want to do this wrong."

"I want to protect myself and my family, but I need someone to walk me through this clearly."

And the worst part?

Every single day that goes by, someone less prepared, less trained, less aware than you is walking into a situation they're not ready for.

While you sit on a firearm you don't know how to use. While you tell yourself "someday."

But that ends Saturday at 1 PM PDT / 4:00 PM EDT.

The real problem isn't that you're unprepared…

It's that the firearms industry was never built for you.

Every class taught by a prior-military male who doesn't remember a time he didn't own a gun.

Every range where the merchant looks at your husband and asks "So you got this?" — as if you're invisible.

Every "beginner" course where the instructor spends the first hour bragging about himself, then hands you a cheap plastic toy that doesn't resemble a real handgun in the slightest.

Why Amara Built This
"After being talked down to at every gun counter and range I visited — I built the training I wished existed."

That's exactly why Amara Barnes founded WGOAA.

For women. By women. Clear. Patient. Real.

And this Saturday at 1 PM PDT, she's teaching the foundation over 10,000 women have used to stop avoiding — and start becoming capable.

What We'll Cover — Live

Is This Right For You?

Who Safe Start Live Is — And Isn't — For

✓ This IS for you if…

You own a handgun but rarely (or never) handle it

You're intimidated and don't know where to begin

You want to learn from women, not be lectured by men

You want clear, simple instruction — not tactical overload

You're done pretending you'll "get around to it someday"

You want to protect yourself and your family with confidence

✗ This is NOT for you if…

You're already comfortable handling and shooting

You're looking for advanced tactical training

You want a range-day course (this is foundational)

You want to argue about gun politics (not what we do)

Taught Live By Amara Barnes

Amara Barnes
Amara Barnes
Founder · WGOAA · NRA-Certified · Former 911 Dispatcher

Amara founded the Women Gun Owners Association of America after being talked down to at every gun counter she walked into. Her background as a 911 dispatcher means she's spent years on the receiving end of the worst calls a woman can make — and she built WGOAA so fewer women would ever have to make them.

She's taught 10,000+ women to handle their firearms with calm, capability, and zero shame. This Saturday, she's teaching the exact beginner foundation — live, with Q&A — for the first time at this price.

"I'm a 61-year-old woman, living alone. I never wanted to be anywhere near a gun. But I decided I would be safer trained than scared. WGOAA made me feel welcome from the very first session."

Overcoming Fear

"I can now pull my slide back — the push-pull technique changed everything for me. Informative even with prior knowledge."

Breakthrough Moment
D
Donna
Houma, LA
★★★★★

"Found myself after a hurricane overwhelmed with 20–30 looters post-storm and I had no gun. I thought I knew more than I did. I've been shooting most of my life, but discovered how limited my knowledge was."

Amanda

★★★★★

"I'm a solo parent… if something happens to me, my son has no one. That's my reason. This training gave me the clarity to stop avoiding and start preparing."

Laura
WGOAA Member
★★★★★

"I hesitated for a year and I regret waiting. The training is different from anyone else out there because it's all given by women, for women."

S
Stephanie

★★★★★

"Even as a black belt in martial arts, I still wanted to be trained with a firearm. This was exactly what I needed — clear, patient, no ego."

Experienced & Still Learning
B
Beverly
WGOAA Member
★★★★★

"My late husband always had guns and I was never comfortable using one. This was my first real step toward feeling safe with what's already in my home."

K
Kyrsten
Arizona
★★★★★

"My boyfriend always says I don't listen to him about guns but I'll listen to anyone else. WGOAA is that 'anyone else' — and I actually retained everything."

M
Misti
California
★★★★★

"I normally never lock the slide open because it is so hard. All of a sudden during this training I can do it. Game changer."

Breakthrough Moment

Trained Before Panic.
Prepared Before Pressure.
Clear Before Chaos.

Because women wait too long.

They wait until something rattles them.

They wait until fear forces the issue.

They wait until they're already under emotional pressure.

That is not what we want for you.

You do not need to know everything today.

You do not need to become someone else.

You do not need to lose your softness to become stronger.

You simply need a safe, clear first step.

Saturday at 1 PM is that step.

Get It All For Only $27!

Why Is This Only $27?

This training normally runs $199.

But the hardest part for most women is not the training itself — it's starting.

Getting over that first hump of fear, confusion, and hesitation is the whole battle. So we made this a no-brainer.

Let's put $27 in perspective:

  • A one-hour private lesson at your local range$85–$150
  • A single box of quality defensive ammo$35–$50
  • Average women's "beginner" group class (taught by men)$125+
  • A self-defense legal consultation$350 min
  • The cost of not being ready when it mattersIncalculable

Common Questions

Quick Answers Before You Register

When exactly is the live training?

Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT (4:00 PM EDT). Plan on 90 minutes with a live Q&A at the end.

How do I join?

As soon as you check out, you'll receive an email with your private join link and a calendar invite. Show up 5 minutes early.

Do I need to already own a handgun?

Ideally, yes. This is designed for women who have a handgun but haven't gotten comfortable with it yet. If you're still deciding on a purchase, you'll still gain valuable foundational knowledge.

Is there a replay?

Yes. Your registration includes the replay plus lifetime access — rewatch anytime on any device.

What if I can't make it live?

Register anyway. You'll get the replay and lifetime access the moment the live session ends. Many members watch the replay first and come to the next cohort live.

Is this only for beginners?

Yes — by design. Even experienced shooters tell us they picked up fundamentals they'd quietly been missing for years.

Will this count toward concealed carry requirements?

Safe Start is educational, not a state-certified CCW class. But it builds the foundation most CCW courses assume you already have.

Is this going to be a 90-minute sales pitch?

No. You'll get 90 minutes of real instruction plus Q&A. We mention WGOAA membership once at the end for women who want to continue — and that's it.

What if I want more training after this?

WGOAA membership gives you access to 14+ on-demand courses, monthly Tactical Talks, and the Armed Sisterhood. We'll share details Saturday for women who are interested.

P.S. — The uncomfortable truth

Most women who buy guns never carry them. Not because they lack courage — because no one built the system for them.

We did. Saturday at 1 PM PDT. Come inside.
