I agree. I don't recall ever hearing of a case where an unarmed assailant took a firearm from an armed defender in a civilian crime situation.

Many of the statements that circulate in debate on the Internet are based on a flawed study. That study asked people whether they owned a firearm and had been the victim of a crime in which a firearm was used. It didn't matter if the person owned a hunting rifle that was at home in the safe when they were robbed at an ATM. It also did not distinguish violence between members of a household.

I’m happy to see that she is moving forward in a positive direction. I agree that it’s sad it took something this horrible for her to see that she needs a gun. Hopefully, her voice and strength will bring awareness to women and create fewer victims for the scumbag rapist.
