Reply #25: Actually, a gun would probably work better [View All]

in the situations you describe.

If a person gets jumped from the bushes, she probably wouldn't have time to pull out a gun, which would make knowing some self defense very useful.

But someone she's with...she could still have a few seconds to pretend to go along with whatever he wants, tell him she's going to "change into something more comfortable", take her purse, and come out with her little "friend". The only thing is, she had better be prepared to use it.


We're never going to rid the world of rapists. We need to give women the right to defend themselves however they can..
