I had an interesting talk a few years ago with a woman judge who got a concealed carry permit from the local liberal police department back in the days when they wouldn't allow ordinary citizens to have them. She talked about the instant transformation she experienced when she was carrying, basically no longer walking the street in fear. I wondered, what if most women carried? Rapists would either have a very high death rate or would change their behavior. What's wrong with that?
