Long and short of it is this:
No matter how well trained and bad@ss your daughter gets, a man will always have the potential to be more physically powerful than she can get.
So you better hope that she never, ever runs into that man who is set on taking her down because she'll be overpowered no matter how good she gets.
And if she does, you better hope there is a good Samaritan or two nearby who aren't too worried about the legal jeopardy they might get into for helping her out.

Unless you have some ruger's
Yes, but Taurus' Raging Bulls and Raging Judges are offered in non-ported models. The forearms get used to it.

You think I'm making stuff up?
Cocking a gun is a distinct sound that makes people typically freeze. I've done it a few times to resolve a situation. Funny part? Gun not loaded, nothing in chamber and no clip in the gun. I never carry a loaded gun. The sound itself made people stop.

Look, as a woman who went through a phase where I was in top athlete shape, I'm just letting you know how it is.
We do what we can, but there are certain hard biological realities in life, and that's one of them.

Yeah, a stripper clip left inside the firearm wouldn't do much good at all... unless you meant "magazine?"

Funny how progressives forget the war on women when it comes to conservative women...
All the things they accuse conservatives of doing, they do to conservative women whether it is mocking a woman for her appearance or outright physically assaulting women.
I guarantee had this been a Trump supporter who Chuck Norris'd some pink vagina hat wearing progressive at a rally CNN would be running nonstop about how it shows the Republicans have an issue with women.

I can see where you're coming from and respect your opinion. There is a lot of unknown variables that we can't know about, and sometimes it may not be worth the risk. Everyone is different, so to each their own I guess.
But I was raised differently and wouldn't hesitate if the situation calls for it. It might be poor judgement on my part, but I just can't stand by if somebody is being assaulted in front of me.

I honestly don't understand why everyone resorts to "call the cops".
I mean really what would you learn more from... a few court hearings and a mark on your "permanent record"
Or having a permanent limp for kicking someones wife/spouse 10 years ago?
Maybe I'm old school, but I'd rather not bother hardworking police officers with something I could take of myself and have a more profound effect anyway. "Dealing" with a twerp like this would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
