You know I never said I don't want women unable to defend themselves against attackers. But you know what I actually DON'T want but happens? A woman or anyone else who is being threatened and/or stalked or abused physically/emotionally/mentally by a criminal to arm themselves without first becoming familiar with the applicable laws of their state regarding EVERYTHING surrounding self-defense, particularly the part about not being the aggressor.Why in the world would you want women unable to defend themselves against attackers?
There have been far to many women who find themself the one arrested or incarcerated because it never occurred to them that if they bought and used a gun against their abuser and ALL of requisite conditions were not present for it it be deemed an indisputable self-defense situation, then they could end up in an equally bad if not worse situation.
Women who take up arms against their male abusers are traditionally punished much more harshly than when men kill their partners, even when the man has threatened to kill the woman repeatedly ad she was only seeking to defend herself.
I don't object to people being armed, I object to a bunch of dumb asses running around who haven't the slight clue what our laws say in connection to their being in possession of said weapon, let alone it's use.
