Kimber, I understand your frustration. My older sister was the victim of a sexual assault. Afterward, our Dad gave her his .38. She wouldn't keep it. Then her husband bought her first a little .32 auto and finally one of those tiny .22 magnum revolvers. She didn't want any of them.
Should they have committed what is basically another assault by browbeating her, trying to force her to carry around a piece of metal she did not want? No they should not have and did not. You should not either.
Respecting your sister's right to live her life the way she wants to is not an academic idea that "flies out the window" as soon as YOU feel she is in danger.
How would you react if she decided to throw your right to choose out the window and forcibly took your gun away because she was sincerely afraid you might shoot yourself?
