BergerFan222: You're perspective is your choice and I support that...for you. It is an attempt to coming closer to eliminating risk from situations involving lethal force by taking what is documented as being what has actually happened the overwhelming majority of cases and applying the challenge, "But this could happen also." And you're right, all those things could happen. But as I said, my approach to everything is about "likely risk management." Paraphrasing gunsmith, trainer and writer Grant Cunningham, "A platoon of N. Korean paratroopers could drop onto your front lawn. But it's not very likely, so it doesn't make sense to spend much time preparing for it."
With your perspective, I would think you should also wear a Level 4 vest at all times, because you could be the target of a sniper or an AK-wielding terrorist. You should be wearing elbow-length, bite proof gloves (there is such a thing) for all those animals you are worried about, because some of them may be on you before you can draw. Maybe a full bear suit would be a good idea. You should also run a serpentine pattern through parking lots. Of course I am being half-facetious, but those things would help in some situations that could happen.
As to the rape thing, the vast majority of those rapes you cite are by people the victims know. This means the rapists can get into contact range before the victim knows the rape is happening. Guns are less likely to be available or used in those situations. Guns are useful for the less common "stranger rapes" but I will argue that a snubby is the best gun for a contact situation like that.
As to the animal thing, if you are somewhere where there are packs of animals, I get it. Personally, I have never seen a raccoon or wild predatory animal where I live. There is a vicious Yorkie-poo on my block, but if a swift kick or pepper spray can't take care of him, I think 5 rounds of .38 +P will do it.
I think it's interesting that about 2/3 of the people in this country don't even own guns. Only about 0.5% nationwide have CC permits. A lot of those don't know how to use them and don't have any H2H skills to help them get to the gun if they are ambushed. I have seen an estimate that I actually think is on the high side, that less than 20% of the permit holders actually carry on their person most of time.
Yet, as someone who EDCs, has good SA, is a great shot and has H2H skills, I get taken to task by people who have a "hi-cap narrative" that they can't see past.
