First of all I want to thank those disabled in the service. My shooting partner did 3 tours in Vietnam, then was a police officer until retirement. Here in a small town of about 13000,he said we have as many calls as much larger cities(he grew up in LA) no, I didn't forget a 0. Thirteen thousand.
Any who, he has plenty of service scars, surgeries and stories. On the drives to the range, he has told me stories of how when you're in a scrap, you're really just trying to stay on top and really calm things down, but when the bad guy reaches for YOUR gun, things really change.
One of the issues I have with my wife caring is just that case. The bad guy gets HER gun that I have loaded with the nastiest, must destructive ammo I can find.
In Wyoming, self defense classes are nearly non existent. I do have a good friend who has many years of ninjutsu training (no joke, the dude is seriously a ninja) and has a modern self defense class, but that's 1200 miles away.
