If obtaining a firearm presents a problem then that should be a sign that you shouldn't have one.

My husband has his guns locked and the ammo stored in a safe that I don't have the combo to. Even though I have shot before (I was in the military for 22 years), I wouldn't want to now. I'd rather learn some self-defense skills instead. If you're asking yourself if you'd be safe with one it's probably not a good idea.

do you really truly believe a gun would make you safer? unless you know how to use it - and know how to use it confidently under extreme duress - it's not going to protect you. In fact, it's more likely to be used against you. I vote for mace + self-defense classes.
Thanks for this!

I agree. Not only that. The surprise factor. You're secondary in reacting to your attacker.
He has the advantage. It requieres a lot of practice and good luck.
It's like motorcycles, if you haven't ridden one all your life, don't start now.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
