kraigwy, the "Why should I learn this stuff/carry an icky gun?" question could be answered with a stack of news clippings of stories just like the one in the "Murder in SC" thread, and the one in the Lawdog post I linked in that thread ...... this is the Age of Information, my friend: It would not take very many hours to track down a dozen more stories very similar to those two and print them out. Those women were real people, and died horrible deaths because they lacked the skills, mindset and hardware to protect themselves when they were the only ones who could.
