This is the story of a woman who decided to carry a gun for self defense.......anti gunners should read it...women are the newest group to embrace carrying guns for self defense.....maybe they can explain it to you...
The Change: A Woman’s Personal Journey With Concealed Carry
A SOURCE OF EQUALITY
Let’s face it: The average woman is not as physically strong as the average man. We’re built differently. We’re typically shorter, smaller and less muscular. In a hand-to-hand struggle, even if a woman works out, lifts weights or studies martial arts, she might still be overpowered by a man, unless she has a gun and she knows how to use it.
Women are also the more victimized gender. Look at the reports and statistics: Every nine seconds in the U.S., a woman is assaulted or beaten, and every day, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. Things haven’t changed all that much through the years: Women are still most often the ones who are kidnapped, raped or killed. But firearms can change that.
The bottom line is a gun is undoubtedly the best way for a woman to defend herself in a worst-case scenario.
There’s a well-known quote that says, “God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal.” You can interpret that phrase to mean that all men (and women) are on equal ground when they are carrying firearms. Many people even describe guns as equalizers, rather than weapons, because guns can put us in a better position to defend ourselves against violent criminals.
