Should women be permitted to protect their own bodies? Or should they be forced to passively endure an attack until an authorized protector from the government can ride to their rescue?
On September 3, Lachelle Hudgins wounded a robber who had attempted to steal her purse. While the mainstream media pan the attack as an overreaction to an attempted purse-snatching, Hudgins, who was there, saw it differently.
According to the video recorded by a local ABC reporter, five attackers approached her car in the wee hours of the morning. How was she to know the attack would end with only a stolen purse? “With so many men surrounding her car and trying to get in the car, she did the only thing she could think to do. She reached in her purse for her gun.” Hudgins said of the incident, “I saved my life.”
In all the current hysteria to “buy back” (translation: “confiscate”) guns, we should not overlook this question: Should women be permitted to protect their own bodies? Or should they be forced to passively endure an attack until an authorized protector from the government can ride to their rescue?
I can reasonably assume Ronnie Preyer’s opinion: He’s against women being armed. Or he would be if this serial rapist wasn’t shot to death by a Cape Girardeau woman fighting to protect her body from his attack. After Preyer raped her the first time, she dutifully called the police. A few days later, he returned to attack her a second time. This time, instead of a phone, she used a gun to protect herself.
Ricky Wright would likely join calls for sensible gun control after being shot in the face by Michelle Booker when he attempted to steal her car and drive off with her

And then stand back and watch their heads (and mouths) explode. LOL!
Senior female here - I was told in CC class that I could basically shoot anyone approaching me and speaking in a loud voice.
Sad truth these days that you are perfectly in your right to defend yourself but you may still have to deal with the perps family or the perp himself (if he lived) in court. Of course, it is better to be alive and not assaulted.
Everything is scrutinized too from your firearm to the cartridge and bullet type that you use. Just be safe and be prepared.
My mom, along with 3 other senior citizen ladies drove over 100 miles to a big mall. On the way back, at night, a guy in a car got behind them. This was before cell phones. He followed them for about 25 miles, through their hometown and out through a remote area that was mostly woods, where they were going to do their first dropoff before heading back into town. Finally one of the ladies in the back seat held a pistol up to the rear window. The guy stopped, did a u-turn and headed away from them, they never saw him again. Having that pistol probably prevented a serious crime, something a liberal would never admit.
2nd Amendment rights are women’s rights.
I never did get that .38 back from her.
Also prison reform.
OR one pit bull.
The ergonomics of AR-15s are important for women. The adjustable butt stocks, for example, allow for narrower shoulder widths.
