JOIN WGOAA
The Women Gun Owners Association of America is a national education platform built by women, for women — combining structured online firearms training through The Armed Female Academy, live events, and a women-centered publication to support the lived reality of the modern armed woman. This is the community where women decide they are done hoping they'll be prepared — and start becoming it.

The Gold Standard For The Modern Armed Woman
WGOAA is redefining what it means to be an armed woman in America. WGOAA exists to raise the expectation of what a capable woman looks like — mentally, physically, and tactically. We are the home of the Armed Female Academy, the heartbeat of the Armed Sisterhood, and the connection point for women who train seriously and carry with intention. If you've been searching for a place that matches your standard, your ambition, and your intelligence — welcome home. This is where the modern armed woman stops blending in and starts setting the tone.
The Armed Female Academy is a virtual/online training experience. We bring firearms education right into your living room. Register for an upcoming event here:
