Disarming Women


iconIt's been a while, so here is my obligatory link to an article by the Independent Women's Forum on disarming women. This should be required reading for all women.

Like I said two years ago, the article makes several key points:

  • Less than 5% of 911 calls dispatched to police are early enough to actually prevent a crime.
  • Police and government organizations have no legal obligation to protect you as an individual.
  • Firearms proficiency can take only a few hours of practice.
  • While martial arts training may "equalize" the disparity between a woman and an attacker, multiple attackers have an advantage.
  • Firearms proficiency can make ANY woman strong enough to fend off attackers, regardless of their size or strength.
  • In more than 92% of "defensive gun uses" simply brandishing a firearm, or firing a warning shot is enough.
Draconian gun control laws and mandatory waiting periods only serve to put law abiding citizens at risk. Forcing women to rely on restraining orders as means of protection is not only foolhardy, it's dangerous. A lot of good a court order does when she's dead. Maybe they can paste it on her tombstone.
