And I'm a total snark.

And this is totally out of context. And...stuff.

Who needs a gun?

(Yeah, yeah. Where did the guy get the gun, and how many people did he kill who HAD guns of their own?)

Penalty for this guy?

Someplace small, hot and welded shut.

I'm sorry. There IS no better rape deterrent than a pair of pretty blue eyes.... glaring daggers across the sights of a snub .38.

Had she had a weapon and proper training, she would've had her weapon to hand approaching the apartment, and she would've had the ability and the right to cause him to leave the scene on a gurney if not in a bag. (I firmly believe that rape or the attempt thereof is a capital crime, punishable on the spot by the would-be victim.)

She talked her way out of it, sure. She got lucky.... and what's more, Justice was NOT served. Now we're going to have to pay untold thousands of dollars to try this bastard AGAIN... when she could've expended less than a buck on two rounds of ammo and ended everyone's misery.

In your dreams. Unfortunately, that's the reality.

Frankly, and they do ask this in all gun training I've had contact with, I'm VERY certain anyone I'd point a gun at would have more than a 50% change of taking it away from me and using it on me.

No, I'll keep my MagLite. And my brain working at peak efficiency - I now have a good example to use.

One. Good. Example. Mind.
