Why do we need guns?

"When you find yourself outsized, rely on us, we will equalize". - Sam Colt

Because my daughter is 5'3", 130 lbs. There is no way on earth she could ever defend herself against a 6'4" 250 lbs. man. I don't care if she was trained by Bruce Lee himself, she could never fight off a man of this size.

However, she is well trained in the use of handguns. Therefore, if she is home alone, I am confident she would be ablet to defend herself.

Simple as that.

You are kidding yourself, the odds are that gun would be used against her, unless he was coming at her from the front, a back or side attack and she would be unarmed in a second.

Better to buy her a rape whistle and invest in some tactical training that can momentarily disable her attacker and allow her to flee.

Jm2c as a woman.

Herr, not actually, you are confusing target shooting in a range, that has to be done to the front (for security reasons), with tactical/defense/combat shooting, that teaches tecniques to shoot to your back and sides. The techniques that "momentarily disable" an attacker, like the OP that you replied pointed out correctly, don´t work 100% of the time and you have even worst odds if the person is bigger, drunk, drogged, etc. Just ask any experienced bouncer, they will tell you.
And a rape whistle where a gun didn´t work? C´mon...
 Quoting: Zombietard


If you are grabbed from behind, you have no chance to pull your gun out of your purse. K
Knowing where to hit your attacker gives you a fighting chance to run away or at least time to pull out the gun, but saying that just because you carry one you are safe is an idiotic response.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 628775

Guns do not belong in purses, but on a belt on the waist.
In which case the would be ATTACKER, seeing a gun, will find an easier target.
