And thanks to her own hubris and faith in a "feel good" "self-defence" course, she has just set her little self up to be a victim.
She just gave some violent criminal all the information that he'll need to turn her into another statistic.
1. Her name.
2. The fact that she does NOT use or have a firearm.
3. The fact that she is single.
4. The fact that she feels safe and "confident"
This here is the thing that will really get her in trouble, the "confident" thing.
She is a silly girl.... I hope that she survives to be a wise woman.

Like Jennifer Lopez's character...

Since the movies seem to matter so much to her...

Pit-i-ful. Just pitiful. What nitwits.

"Considering guns as women's only shot at self-defense is like eating fat-free cookies to ward off obesity".

Anyone out there want to take odds that this person is an insecure fat liberal broad?

Even if an attacker is wearing a vest, a .45 slug dead-center of the vest will make him think twice.
And when he gets up the second round between his eyes will do worse than that
