So far, the possibility of a swift kick in the nuts, hasn't deterred men with the intention of rape.


It might take a while for it to sink in, for rapists, that more women are packing.


In the mean time, some women won't get raped, and some would be rapists will get their balls blown off. Or maybe they'll get killed.


A 911 call will be too late. A gun will get it over with right away.

It's also very easy for a rapist, especially if there's more than one, to turn the gun on the victim.

Your fear mongering isn't going to get me to carry a gun.
You want to live in fear, knock yourself out.
Don't you dare try to push that garbage on me; I'm smarter than that.

Rape statistics plummet when the threat of law-abiding citizens carrying guns is known. Guns are the great equalizer.

I question the effectiveness of a gun in extremely close proximity situations. A person would be better off with something more appropriate such as a knife if properly trained.

So you supplant fear of rape with fear of guns?

I read that the national response time for a 911 call is 10 min. The response time for a .40 SW is about 1200 fps.

Statistics show that the vast majority of perpetrators are either aquaintences or friends, which will make a person hesistate even more.

No one needs to know you carry. It is wise to invest time in self defense classes at the minimum.
