And surprisingly enough..in areas where its known women are
armed..rapes, robberies etc etc against women are all down below our
already low crime rate.

Shug..while you and I might be able to handle that young puke by hand,
why deny those that are the most defenseless, have no way to defend
themselves?

And why demand that those who have other priorities must spend much time at
the gym working out, in order to engage and prevail at hand to hand combat?

I've a friend I'll call Dwight, who is 6 foot something of bad attitude, a
rugby player, an hard style martial art fighter, a practitioner of the
Philippine stick fighting school and a generally bad ass kind of guy. I once
asked him about all this hand to hand prowess, when he regularly carries at
least one gun. His answer was on the lines of "That for when IO can't get to a
gun quick enough. Besides, I might hurt myself that way." Not to mention
messing up his garments.

Firearms, modern labor saving devices which enables those not into physical
violence to prevail against those so inclined, with a minimum of fuss and
bother.
