Yep, there is now a Colorado Recall effort against State Senataor Hudak.

Oct 2007 Amanda Collins was raped at gun point in the gun-free U Nevada-Reno parking garage, 50 feet from the campus police dept. office. Her assailant, James Biela, later raped at least two other women and murdered another. Collins had a carry permit for self defense but had complied with university gun policy and left her gun home. Her rapist did not. "Had I been carrying that night, two other rapes would have been prevented and a young life would have been saved."
Mar 2013 Amanda testified before the Colorado legislature for the right of gun permit holders to carry on campus. Colorado Democrat Sen. Evie Hudak told her that "statistics are not on your side." That guns are useless for self defense.
The problem with Hudak's statement is that even the federal NCVS victim survey statitics show that victims who resist (especially with guns) fare better than victims who submit. (NCVS uses screening questions so that only self-identifed victims are eventually asked if they defended themselves and tends to underreport self-defense especially with guns.)

ADDED: When her comments became a controversey Evie Hudak claimed the stats were: "The Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence says that for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, 83 were murdered by them."
Notice that is not for 84 women who used a gun in self-defense, 83 were murdered with a gun. It is an apples to oranges comparison: women self-defenders who kill compared to women who were murdered with a gun. Unless Hudak wants to claim that all women who were murdered with a gun were defending themselves with a gun and were killed with their own gun.
