I keep thinking of different circumstances where I'd be put in a position of 'victim'. I mean in my house I'd not have a gun holstered to my hip. Maybe I couldn't get to it. So, you are right. An attitude and apptitude to fight would be called for. I like your thought about being 'adamant about not being a victim'.
"An attitude and apptitude to fight would be called for."Yes, ma'am! You fight with whatever you can get your hands on, even if it's just your fingernails, fists, feet, teeth, whatever. Even if it's a foregone conclusion that you'll lose, you never give up. It's also a good idea to have God in your corner, but judging from your profile page, you already do.
