Since a doctor named Kellerman was in the news today (not sure if it's the same guy) I was thinking...
Are there any factual statictics out there on how many people, in an attempt to defend themselves have actually had their gun taken away and/or used against them?
Or this one...
How many women, defending/attempting to defend themselves with a gun, were subsequently beaten or raped?
Is there even a way to find this out?
Or how many women, after having learned non-lethal 'self defense' methods (martial arts, pepper spray, etc.) have been subsequently beaten/raped and whether those tactics were of any help in such scenarios?
I only have one piece of personal data that I can relate to in my personal life that showed me just how vulnerable females are to attack...
Back in college (6'3" 205# at the time) my girlfriend was angry (a huge understatement) at me and she puched me with literally everything she had right in the center of the chest (she was 6'1" 165#). Granted I have more vulnerable spots (that would be taught in such classes), but I truly didn't feel any pain. Maybe no one ever taught her how to punch, or where, but having never been hit before by a girl (other than my sisters ) it was a revelation.
My little sister played college ball, and is 6'1" at 175#, so maybe I'll have to take another data point.
