For those who may have missed it, pay attention to how she’s in the habit of 100% control & safety of her weapons! My compliments to her father & others who taught her to do this 100% right, 100% of the time!
“An equalizer between women and men” Very true indeed
Taking my two oldest girls for a gun safety course on Saturday. They are super excited.
Can you not teach them yourself? It's not hard. I was just teaching a 5 year old gun safety and how to shoot my little youth 22lr
Yay
How'd they do? :D
@Jim. Lucky Americans. In Socialist Orwellian Norway the dreaded Children's Protection Agency is actually "concerned" even when parents learn their sons safe archery. No exaggeration. This is how feminized it has become over here
Well done
Get it girl! Much love from North Carolina! My daughter is 7 and she's been practicing with her BB gun all year long to work up to my old Ruger. She saw this video and was super inspired to keep working at it. Thanks for being awesome, your Dad too! God bless.
Very inspirational. What a great person and role model. Way to go Katie!
God bless this young lady and her family. Dad, outstanding!
Her Dad is kind enough to guild her...
He's a cool guy. I've met him
He created generation 3gun, a nonprofit for her
666 the bless post lol
Squirrel: Yes, blessings be to the Killers. As a lighter comment did you ever see the cult classic movie "Zardoz" with Sean Connery? You should be so proud that you've created your cult of killers.
This girl is beyond her years. I wish there were more like you cuz I can’t find anyone like this. Good job to the father
Its not only an equalizer for women but also for the week, sick and old.
@@spinnerfidget9546 yea good luck beating a 220 lb 6'5 guy while being 160 lb and 5'8 as a man. Going to be 10 times harder as a woman since you have smaller frame and less testosterone.
Well said, key word - equalizer. Funny how some hate all things being equal. Well done young lady and family. Homework first, lol.
Great video! My little girl got to meet and get her picture made with Katie Francis at the NRA convention in Nashville!
Nice
Lucky
Great vid! We need more young people in the sport.
RockyTop1911 i wish my dad would let me we go to the range once a month I have perfect groupings
AWESOME! That's great parenting, very level headed and bright girl. I'm cheering for you.
Thanks to Marie Claire for giving a very fair platform on this topic!
True
wow such a mature young women she carries herself like a 28 year old
only children think that giving guns to everyone solves the problem of too many people having guns
if only she was 28 i would like a gal like her.
@@TDRN1 and where was that implied? Only children have to put words in peoples mouths to make a point. In fact if you read the comments a lot of respect is given to her father for raising a strong responsible mature young woman. That's the key right there. People like me believe that anyone who can show they are decent, responsible, and disciplined should be allowed to keep and bear arms if they so choose. Ignorant hateful fools like yourself should NOT own guns.
Because she had good father... I saw single mom's daughter started to drug since 12 years old
@@TDRN1 you do know that if someone is going to shoot up a place but in that building there is someone conceal carrying that person that is conceal carrying can stop the shooter it's not just kids it's God damn common sense
Hats off to the father for doing a hell of a job!
Love to see this. More women should take the example from this amazing young lady. Keep up the great work Katie!
If I was ever in the zombie outbreak, I want this girl fighting with me side by side. #long live true freedom for women
a tear rolled down my face i'm, so proud. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
From a retired Vet. Well done outstanding. Hats off to your father.. Keep it up
Katie, you go GIRL!!! You're Father is proud of you and he is a good man. As a Father of 2 Daughters (that know how to defend themselves with a firearm) and a 20+ year Youth, Firearm, Personal Safety Instructor YOU make all of US proud. AIM HIGH!
I've been a fan of Katie's since she was about 13, and have a great amount of respect and admiration for her dad for building this kind of relationship with his daughter. Good job, Dad.
Wonderful to see a young girl being responsible. No doubt she will be a great credit to our society no matter what path she chooses with her firearms skills. Her Dad must be very proud of the mature young woman she will become.
Amazing young lady! Amazing parents that also allow her to be a kid too!
That’s a great dad. Taught his girl some knowledgeable shit.
A great skill to have that is also a constitutional right that should never be infringed upon. God bless you and yours.
Hear Katie Francis' story on guns.
this is me
Hey ,Hey...! Does katie have youtube channel?.........Loved that girl...
Marie Claire You are awesome Katie..God bless you and your dad.
WHY?
Молодец))
Now that's how i would rise my DAUGHTER! 😉 Your father is a good MAN. 🇺🇸
Sammi raise
If I had a daughter like that id be proud and would sleep easy knowing she can defend herself.
You'd be doing a bad job then. I don't care what you say, you don't give a 5year old a gun.
@@frederik4640 oh ok god yes god sure god I didn't know your almighty God
@@frederik4640 Learned to shoot when I was five as well, and by my mother was the one who educated us. We were not given the gun, they were stored in a safe place out of reach. There is a big difference, I suggest you learn it.
Great job, Mr. Francis! You are setting your daughter up for success. Proud to have you both as fellow Americans. Dad taught us all how to hunt and fish and we are, to this day, thankful. It bonded us to our parents. It made us closer, as a family. Not be cause it was hunting and fishing (although nothing is a cool or fun at a young age), but because it was a family activity. Family activities are a great thing. Even once a week. Even a silly board game can make the difference in a kids life. Katie, keep up the excellent work, be safe and keep a clear sight picture.
Great parenting, Mom and Dad/
All I can say is awesome , Awesome that you love to shoot but mainly that you enjoy it with your dad ! Good Luck with all you do!
This is what our children should Inspire to be. The knowledge that she has, the respective Shea shows, the push to learn not only in school, but it's safety with a firearm. She is not a feminist, but a beautiful young lady. This is what our children need today. The world is cruel, to defend yourself is very important. To educate yourself is a must. It appears that this young lady has it all. Her parents should be commended for raising such a wonderful young lady.
thats right inspire a kid to be violent...heaven forbid you should inspire then to be smart and work hard.
@@christopher480 smart and hard-working coincide with responsible firearm ownership and usage. Your point is?
@@christopher480 Dude. just stop. you're embarrassing yourself way too much.
@@charlieinthe_box ratio
@@anuismaiga7639 counter ratio + you're motherless
Keep teaching and posting video educating new generations of shooters. Much respect.
This is too awesome... Awesome Daughter, Awesome Dad and Awesome Bond!
This is great keep it up, girl . I come from a family of competition shooters this is a great way to teach people about guns, gun safety and fun. It is to bad that the sport has suffered over the years and also that the media only shows the dark side of guns. This was a great video to show anohter side and i wish more would be out there like this.
My dad tried to shoot me when I was 5 lmao. Regardless my mom got me a rifle at 12, revolver at 16. I bought my own AR last year as soon as I turned 18
Keep up the good work... Blessings to you and your family!! Thank you for the great video.
So awesome.. Loved the Video sweet heart keep up the good work!! I sent this video to my 20 year old daughter she loved it! Love how you put out how responsibility makes a difference... Very important.. thank you so much!
Great job by the father of raising a well spoken, intelligent, talented kid.
Good thing there's no mom..............
Wow, I would be so proud if my kid would be that smart, dedicated and talented! Good parents showing their kids responsibility, and being there for them.
Awesome video ! This is a video I show my 7 year old daughter as I am starting her off in the sport.
You two are great. Do not let anyone get you guys down between the great Daughter Father bond you share and the great passion and hobby you uphold.
This is a true young lady with respect and morals. . Great job to her parents !!! God bless
Beautiful race guns, beautiful girl, awesome story. I'm glad to see young people getting into the sport.
Thanks for your example. Bless your talents and life.
This is sweet. And was that a reloaded I spotted in the end? That’s one of the best ranges I’ve seen I love everything about this video
An example of a real woman who is tough outside and softer inside.
How is she tough
What happened to her videos on her channel, she stopped posting back in 2013?
Motivated, trained, and responsible young folks like this give me hope for the future. Thank you.
Young lady, you are one of the lucky few to have a Dad like that. God bless you and your family.
My Daughter is 5, and she sees me with my Guns all the time cuz I Predator Hunt, so she's always asking if she can have one, and so on. I say "Of Course.I'll teach how to shoot when you're older, and all my Guns will go to you one day. Unless u don't want em." But i'll also get her own Stuff if she really wants to get into it. The Daddy in this Vid's got his head on straight. I like that.
I wish there were more girls like you.
This is awesome. Recently had some training and would love to get into this
The media definitely needs to see this!! Awesome video!!
awesome. stuff. my kidoes love shooting as well. maybe one day ill have them out in a competition
Her father must feel proud to have a daughter like her abilities are.
Outstanding work, well done.
Thank you for sharing
311 dislikes - the men she's beaten in competition.
Such a talented lovely young lady. You have my respect and admiration dear 🇺🇸
AMAZING GIRL and Amazing Dad / Solid people. Each of us may not have a champion shooter child,but there is millions of these families in our Great USA. Only Country in 6,000 years to be Run By the People for the People. God Bless the USA
🙌🏽💯 great job young lady! Congratulations on all of your achievements. I aspire to grow in this area as well. You are awesome 💯
awesome job tell your dad thanks for getting you started on shooting. I'm teaching my new wife how to shoot a she makes craft projects too
Good for you young lady! Keep dropping hammers, stay safe!
I love how quick and decisive competitive shooters are in their general movement. Watching her get out of the truck and make that move... so physically competent
I love it!!!! Great job!!! Great job Dad, for giving another young lady the ability to be able to express themselves and protect themselves.
Impressive! 👍 Great shooting 👍 And great father 👍 Go girl!! 👏👍👌🙌
Im pretty good at pistols myself, but this girl is a kick ass. Good luck!
Amazing work, keep it up! Great video.
Thank you to Marie Claire for courageously showing positive aspects of legal gun ownership and responsible enjoyable shooting sports. Katie is a well informed, intelligent, compassionate, young woman who effectively expresses her beliefs about societal issues, self defense, gun control, and responsible gun ownership. Katie is an impressive young woman in many ways, not just for excelling in local, national, and international shooting activities, she is also a good student, responsible and disciplined, a good friend, a good daughter, a good citizen and a good ambassador for the USA. In one of her statements she said “a gun is a good equalizer between a woman and a man.” I believe she meant because of size and strength issues. However, I suggest that a more clear statement is that a gun is a good equalizer between a good person and a bad person. And finally, congratulations to Katie’s parents for raising a wonderful daughter.
Definitely ready for the zombie apocalypse. Huge props to her dad.
This is a great example of how you raise your loving children not like the scums you see out and about looting & rioting ! Subscriber here & like
Great video, I throughly enjoyed it.
much respect for this young lady and her family!!!!
country side place thats my dream to own one one day.far from anyone.love place like ur location.😃
young lady YOU ROCK i had to subscribe. 👍👍🇺🇸
You subscribed to Marie Claire? Hmmmm, interesting.
you are so very lucky.........first, great dad, very special........then wonderful family & friends......I hope you know how truly lucky you are.......keep up the great job you're doing!
A perfect example of learning how to be safe and handle any firearm. Cudos to Dad for teaching and training this young lady. I congratulate her in her past accomplishments, and I wish her well in future competition.
Notice how often she checks if her pistol is unloaded👍
This is awesome, I would love to have my daughters gain as much interest and skill as you
Good For You!!! I am proud to see a young lady who is doing her thing. Especially when it also can help you protect yourself.
To be good at something takes persistence, talent, skill and be responsible. This young lady has been shown the right way by her dad. Well done dad. Great job.
that title looked weirder lol
Children should be taught guns and gun safety even if they will never normally use one or own one. My dad got me a bb gun at age 4 and taught me right from wrong. I never had to have it taken away from me. Had a .410 shotgun at 9 and a 22 at 10 . Ive never hurt a sole not even myself thanks to gun education and respect of firearms and people. People who dont teach their children anything and simply blame others for all their bad will suffer a terrible crisis sometime in their lives .
God Bless You Young Lady and Your Family...Haile from Canada 🇨🇦...
What a great video! I loved the message at the end about guns. We need more people in the world like you
this is what I like to see. she won't be waiting for the cops to show up if danger is dumb enough to approach her.
dat sti DVC tho...
Very inspiring, very awesome!
It has been a long time. Strangely youtube feed brought you back. My apologies for my absence- liked again. Subscribed again. Cheers 2A.
women with strong fathers are always so driven and balanced. single moms shit the bed. pick your men better ladies.
These days women are more concerned about being perceived as dominant that they deliberately choose a partner who they can use and control rather than picking the strongest player for their mutual team.
WOMEN WITH ZERO FATHERS are also DRIVEN AND BALANCED. your logic is flawed dumbass.
@@leelizardwilcox6271 "WOMEN WITH ZERO FATHERS are also DRIVEN AND BALANCED. your logic is flawed dumbass. " Lololol no "WOMEN WITH ZERO FATHERS" are more lickley to be working a pole than running any form of business!
@@leelizardwilcox6271 relax you dumb snowflake. let me teach you a lesson life hasn't taught you yet. it usually takes a man and a woman to raise a child--a nice balance--because men and women offer different things to the child that are important for the child's mental and physical well-being. you know what the single best predictor of poverty is? you know what the single best predictor of becoming a criminal later in life is? children raised under single-mother families. this isn't a testament, nor hate against women, but women and men are meant to raise children TOGETHER.
No doubt. My daughter has me wrapped around her finger and we are each others world. :)

Hi what kind of pistol do you have in the video?
Good for the both of you.
Can't wait to read and reply to all of the anti-gun comments! Lets see here...
Her pistol looked like it was tricked out. Looks dope.
USPSA Limited guns can cost upwards of 3K
Isn't the Sphinx 3000 a $3k gun?
GamerSixgun or more
Got two daughters and hope our relationship ends up like this. Great job Dad.
Just came across your video and can only say with a lump in my throat that you and people like you are our hope. I'm in my 70's and figure maybe I can still help but your the future. A smart mature capable young lady. Brought up by a proper family with the old fashion values. Great job and I figure you now are 20 years old. God you and your generation have your work cut out for you but I feel you can and will do it. Thanks
this is so american i almost voted for trump in my country
She can protect me anytime !
BR00 D damn
JAIL BAIT!!!
BR00 D she’s 16
majik mesa *17 , this video was uploaded a year go , I could date her still , I'm of age

Loved this!
Respect to your father for teaching you how to safely handle a firearm, hunt if needed, shoot for fun/competition and be able to defend your home, your property, your life and other people's life as well. You have the right attitude and outlook. I will be teaching my daughter the same.
