You are soooo right. I was raped 18 years ago by someone who was known to me. He was as, the truth came to light, not a businessman/owner but a well known drug runner, big time. Had I had my carry gun I would have had a choice. If faced with that decision again, I would not hestitate to use my firearm to protect myself and if I happened to be a statistic, at least I had a choice in the matter.........I am pro choice on guns!

In the average year, says the Bureau of Justice, only 1 percent, or about 62,200 actual or attempted victims of violent crime use a firearm in self-defense.

ONLY 62,200 victims were able to use a firearm in self defense?!? Well, that hardly seems worth the effort. (piles of sarcasm).
