Reply #13: I am a strong supporter of RKBA

There are strong opinions on both sides of this issue, but I believe a trained, armed woman is much less vulnerable.

I would suggest that women educate themselves on the pros and cons of carrying a weapon. If you are comfortable with the responsibility, consider getting a concealed carry permit if you live in a state with reasonable gun laws.

I do not have the expertise to quote statistics and cite gun laws in various states, but there are are some very well informed people in the Guns Forum at DU. There are also people with strong opinions on the other side of the issue. If you are open to the idea of arming yourself, that would be a good place to start.
