Exactly. One of my wife's friends noticed me grabbing my gun as I was ready to go out. She asked why I had it and didn't grasp the concept of personal defense at first. I asked her how she would handle a dangerous situation and she said she'd call 911. I told her, "OK, pretend I'm a bad guy and I'm getting ready to come across the room and hurt/rape/kill you. You start dialing and we'll see if you even get an answer before I get to you."
She looked like a deer in the headlights for a moment then mumbled a couple "Uhs". About that time my wife pulled her gun out of her purse and told her that she'd rather "dial in" on a bad guy than try to dial for help.
When I got back my wife asked if we could take her friend to the range sometime - she's considering arming herself.
Tell your friend about that Houston 911 operator who, “Didn’t feel like talking to anyone,” and hung up on callers. One of which resulted in a death.
My self defense insurance covers clean up.

That is a good one. When they ask if you own a gun on doctor forms, it gets checked NO. Not any of their business that I CCW.
