Spartanburg man accused of attempted rape denied bond
“I believe this animal don't belong walking in our society, around women,” Wright said. “This is a horrendous crime.”

Wright suggests that women carry a .45-caliber weapon because he says they wouldn't have to be accurate, just close to the target.

I suggest a 9mm for a lady and work on being accurate. Less kickback and more potential rounds to throw at the attacker. My wife shot my .45 and hated it but she loves her Kahr PM9.

" And he said it's better to carry a gun than mace."

Sheriff Chuck Wright doesn't beat around the bush. He keeps it simple and to the point.

Dear Sheriff Wright,

Please move to Illinois asap and become our Governor.
We beg you.

Will you? Pretty please? All expenses will be paid.
Also, you and your family get to live free in a State owned Mansion.
Kindly consider that in deciding.

Thank you for you time.

regards
The (legally) UNARMED People of IL

According to another article he suggested a specific weapon which I am not familiar with, but is a combo of .45 ACP and 410 gauge shotgun according to him, so the quote “Wright suggests that women carry a .45-caliber weapon because he says they wouldn’t have to be accurate, just close to the target.” is not accurate.

The 410 shotgun shell, of course, is the part where being close is more important than being accurate.

Very odd choice of a weapon for concealed carry, IMO.

Back in the middle 60's there was a city in Central Florida where the police department armed 250 women with and trained them to use 5 round Charter Arms .38's. The rapist moved, rapes in that city went down and rapes in surrounding more politically correct communities went up.

Sorry, but I don't remember any more details, but I believe I read it in an old CATO report.

"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." — L. Neil Smith

I also call this The Theory of Duh. Hat tip to the artist below...

Yeah, that 0.05” radius increase is so much more forgiving than a tiny l’il 9mm.

[Little Ray]

The sheriff is a man who truly cares about people.
He needs to add “and train with them” though.

I’d love to see a society with lots of armed, trained private citizens and laws that make being a criminal really, really risky.
