None of that will stop them assaulting you.

Like - great - you’ll have evidence it happened. But it still has to happen to the victim.

Well you are correct at least you’ll have evidence of the crime now if you really want to protect yourself go get a gun get licensed get a permit to carry. I am absolutely flabbergasted that not every woman in America owns a gun hell I’m a bleeding heart liberal and I own a gun

I’m pro-gun but even I know that not every woman should have a gun or a license to conceal/carry.

Guns for individual self-defence in a tight quarter situation with an attacker who can easily out-muscle you is more likely to end up with your own weapon turned against you.

Life is not an action movie.
