The fact that millions of people do something in safety shows that the activity is not dangerous if done correctly, thereby refuting your claim that it is dangerous.

As she, like me is a senior citizen, and is frail, I doubt she would have survived the attack. But you would be happier if she had not been armed and was just another crime statistic.

That's correct and it's something I learned at a young age and it's very primal.

Of course. Nothing in life is guaranteed, including using a gun successfully for SD.
