"I think there’s a big shift towards wanting to be able to protect yourself and defend yourself,” said Hardy. Hardy says not only are the numbers on the rise, so is the ratio of women to men in the classes. “It used to be about 20 percent women in my classes. For the last year and a half, maybe two years, it’s been closer to 60, 65 percent,” said Hardy. Elizabeth Koegler is one of his students. She took the course two months ago and just received her permit on Tuesday."
