        Why? I mean if a gun could help you in that situation, some other non lethal stuff could have also been enough. At least those are enough for people not in the US facing similar situations.

        Running away saved me a lot of times. It also failed me twice, and those two times left me with a scar and a permanent disability. As a complete self-defense solution it’s a bad idea, but as part of your defense it’s a great suggestion for any able bodied people.

        I can no longer outrun potential attackers. This door is closed to me.
