    The only promise of protection you get in this world is porpotional to the amount of violence you are known to be capable of, and sometimes not even then. Protect yourselves, we aren’t out of the dark ages yet.

        Yeah I’m trying to build my body to be cute and fuckable, not combat ready.

        Until cis men get their shit together, you can eat my ass about being a quivering shitbag.

        I’ll add someone to the daily list of 132 people that die by gunshot in the US, if it means I don’t have to double down on being a part of the nearly quarter of women who have been sexually assaulted.

          You go girl.

          Make sure you know your local and state laws for de-escalation and use of deadly force, Stand your ground laws and such.

          After that, train. The last thing you want is to flub up something in a high pressure situation. It needs to be second nature to be effective.

          That’s my most general advice.

          Beyond that, you’ll find everyone has an opinion about carry options

          An everyday carry fun should be reliable and comfortable.
