“If you want to help domestic violence victims, encourage them to prepare to defend themselves. Stop telling them they are not capable of handling a firearm, and scaring them with skewed statistics that only demoralizes them. Fund programs that offer training and arm the women,” Watral said. Gun control groups voice the possibility if a woman has a gun in a violent situation, it will be taken and used against her. That is a possibility. What is more probable is that she will be overpowered by a man based only on his strength. I need a tool to be my equalizer to defend myself, and I choose a firearm. I want it to be my choice, not that of the government. I want to be my own protector.”

“Firearm ownership not only armed me with a physical tool but also with a profound sense of empowerment. It turned a woman who had once cowered in fear into someone who stands tall, even in the face of adversity,” Solomon said. “In my role as a firearm owner and educator, I've met countless women with stories like mine. Through education and proper training, they too discovered their inner strength, realizing that firearms, when handled responsibly, can be a tool of empowerment.”

This is about any citizen who might have deigned to call 911 in a whispered voice to report an intruder.
No one is going to come save you. You have to depend on on yourself.
Those tax dollars you pay that are supposed to be used to provide security by law enforcement as part of our social contract are being diverted to cell phones and cash cards for illegals, and to outright line the pockets of government employees as they cut back on police.
I just bought a new stripped lower, my wife is about to learn how an AR style rifle goes together.
Actually, a liberal once said that she was glad she didn’t have a gun when she was robbed because she might have shot the poor mugger who was only robbing her because Reagan’s policies had impoverished him.

Her attitude is quite common. You hear it everyday in comments like: ‘property isn’t worth taking someones life’.
A double barrel coach gun in the house is all my protocols encourage. Too many women are one chick-chat away from going straight from of sound mind, into bat $hit crazy, in five minutes.
Life, liberty and the means to defend YOUR life, liberty.
