If I had a gun in the house (not likely) I would get it. If I got it and my attacker only had a knife I would not shoot him. I've been in a position where I could have been killed by a gun twice. In neither case did my assailant shoot me. They could have. I haven't read many stories where the "good guy with the gun" didn't empty it into the perp. I think I'd rather take my chances with armed street scum than with armed middle class Conservatives.

You are quite welcome to do so. You see, no one cares if you are a vitcim of violent crime here. If you choose not to take responsibility for your own defense, no one else will.
Others choose differently.
It's interesting that someone that has been a victim of violent crime not once, but twice, seems to think that the risk of violent crime is too low to be concerned about. Some people like playing the professional victim I guess.

Sadly, some people would rather see a room full of women in a rape victim support group than hear stories about women avoiding rape by defending themselves.

Wrong. I've been here asking how women can pull out their gun when they're already being raped, OR, if they automatically shoot any strangers they see that look suspicious in advance, and no one has responded.
I'd like to know how one can get out of the grip of a perp and go pull their gun out of their purse. No one has responded.
I'd like to know how one can get out of the grip of a perp holding a gun at one's temple, to go get the gun in one's purse, but again, no one responded.
Go back a few pages, scroll up and start reading. I asked questions on gun use, and you gun fondlers had a tantrum and refused to respond. Why did you refuse to respond? I'll tell you why you refused to respond - because carrying a gun around DOES NOT SAVE LIVES, that's why. If anything, it endangers one's life. But you just continue to carry on with your gun fondling.
I did answer you, because you are failing to understand the answer is not my problem.
When you can answer, who said gun would stop all crimes, then you will have you own answer....
To bad you cannot see or understand that!
Who said guns will stop all crime?
Again with the fondling....if you truly own a gun, then you must be worn out

Gun fondlers are in here saying that guns WILL stop crime, and that women should carry guns to avoid rape and crime I want proof of it. I posed some questions, and those questions have still not been answered. How does a woman who is already being assaulted, go get her gun from her purse so she can shoot the perp?

I have...
ANyone who shoots automatically, is stupid and deserves to have thier gun taken away.
Now, again
Who said guns would stop all crime? I'm waiting....

It does all the time, I even posted a link that you missed or just blew it off because it does not fit your agenda....

So, you're saying that the others who are suggesting women carry guns because it stops crime have no evidence of that, and that guns don't stop all crime anyway, and that you can't answer the questions I keep asking except to say that to shoot everyone is not smart.
After all that, my question then is, why would someone carry a gun?

Not just rape. Home invasions, street muggings, drive by assassinations, even murder suicides. The VAST majority occur without any warning. You've argued with your suicidal and depressed spouse before. Today is the day though that he plans to take you both upstairs. And I don't mean the upstairs bedroom. Guns don't stop all crime... duh... they don't stop much of it from where I sit. They stop some crime. Gee. Since 911 we have been paying for Air Marshalls to rack up air miles with little... nothing, actually, to show for it. No one wants guns going off with regularity in pressurized airplane cabins. Air Marshall's do not make minimum wage. Neither would armed school security guards. If people want to spend $300 and $400 and more for a piece of equipment that they may never use, who am I. But I can call you a fool. I can argue strenuously that you not be allowed to infect the general public with your hysteria. Why not? Because there is a debt ceiling debate. We are arguing the merits of letting Planned Parenthood go away and we are going back to unpaved roads and privatized police and fire services in many locales because there isn't any money to pay for these things! The country is broke! Is this really the time to want armed this, armed that, and armed the other running around "protecting us" for a fee, and add to that, armed Americans, mostly from the, cough, WASP, persuasion, running about on Amber alert 24/7? I don't think so. Enough is really enough.

I know the country is broke.
The coffers have been rendered depleted through the tax breaks to those who make the most funds, through the crushing of unions so that companies can pay the least amount and pocket the rest, so that people don't have money to keep the economy moving, through allowing corporations that make ever-higher-profits move jobs abroad, so that people have no money, and by giving an open check to the military-industrial complex of corporations. The coffers have been emptied via right wing ideologues promoting their agenda but they're pretending it wasn't them.
Meanwhile, gun fondlers are focusing ONLY on arming themselves to the hilt for fear the government (whom they consider their enemy because some of the services it provides don't benefit them specifically), is now considered their enemy.
And then there are the others - the gun fondling paranoids who insist that carrying a gun is in itself a bestower of good tidings, and that it will magically remove all potential perps from their environment simply because they carry one in their pocket like a rabbit's foot.
Right wing ideology has turned this country on its head, and rendered it a hellhole of gun crime, a place of paranoid schizoids who hunker down in a bunker of Campbell's soup cans and guns, of a place of poverty for the middle class and the working poor, and a place where even the government is poor.
Right wing ideology is an infectious illness.
