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.
Quoting: Conspiracy Theorist 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 628775 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.
