The response has been so positive that it sparked one of  Women of USPSA&#8217;s contributors, Fran Terry, to suggest putting the  statement on a T-shirt. Women of USPSA received Lee&#8217;s permission to use  the quote and the &#8220;Athena approved&#8221; shirts are for sale on the group&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/womenofuspsa.spreadshirt.com\/\">web store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Available in black in three styles &#8211; a men&#8217;s tee, a women&#8217;s tee and a  women&#8217;s tank top &#8211; the shirts feature Lee&#8217;s quote, &#8220;A gun is just a  tool. It&#8217;s like having a baseball bat but louder&#8221; on the front.  Available sizes are small to XL for the women&#8217;s tank top ($16.40) and  small to XXL for the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s standard tee ($11.40).<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Women of USPSA visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/womenofuspsa.com\/wp\/\">Women of USPSA blog<\/a>.
