Here is a question. Has an armed, trained, civilian in the USA ever been forcibly raped?
I'm sure there is a situation where someone has been disarmed but I would assume that an armed woman defends herself at an incredibly high rate.
If anyone knows of a news article that mentioned a woman being raped while carrying, I would very much like to read it.
Long story short....gun grabbers want women to be raped.
There's a reason why the idiom "When seconds count, police are only minutes away" is so well-known.
Everyone inherently KNOWS that police can't be everywhere at all times to prevent crime. At the best of times, you might get lucky and be helped by a nearby police officer shortly after the crime starts. However, in most circumstances, they're only there AFTER THE FACT, and they may not even be able to solve the crime or bring anyone to justice for it.
You can only count on yourself to protect you and yours in an emergency, and the more America starts accepting that fact, the more we can return to a general sense of peace (as the violent ones get locked up in jail, the crazy ones get placed in mental wards, and both get treated the best we can to potentially help them escape the criminal cycle by rejoining society as a stable friendly citizen).
Man, if we coulda converted the liberals mindset by now, we woulda. That Russian KGB Video comes to mind - how some people are so brainwashed, ya can't change their mind, no matter how many facts ya show them. Imo*
There was a study done on this way back in the day (that they will never try to replicate) that basically said this. It was among attempted rapes vs. "completion" (shudder) and among the girls that were packing they very rarely managed to get to "go all the way" (gag). We're talking like 2%.
Seriously ladies: if this is an actual real concern for you, like you live in a dangerous area or work late at night, strongly consider concealed carry (then move and get a better job). While rape will always be a thing, it doesn't have to happen to you.
Pepper spray and mace need to be aimed directly at the aggressor's eyes/nose for the greatest effect, and even then, some people can still be so pumped up on adrenaline that they keep moving forward almost unhindered.
Melee weapons like collapsible batons depend on the strength of the wielder to be most effective, and women are statistically weaker than men on average.
A gun is the most equal form of self-defense: it won't stop everyone, but it can let a small woman defeat a mountain-sized man in a fight, and it incentivizes criminals to find other targets or just give up their criminal intentions.

It's like the wall. It's not 100% perfect, but boy oh boy, does it get most of 'em.
Would be great to get back to a time when "crime" was a shock instead of a norm.
If only we could pinpoint a group that was committing a staggeringly dis-proportionality of those crimes......

I think it has always kind of both
Try explaining that to an insane liberal.
They just use the "muh over stayed visa" argument.

Easier to kidnap kids from unarmed guardians

A tazer can be stopped by thick clothing/skin.
