Did you know 65,000 people per day are victims of crime?
And every hour 267 women are victims of violent crime?
Home burglary stats are stunning...every hour 411 homes are hit.
Sad but true…There’s a difference between running for your health
and running for your life.
Myth: Guns are not effective in preventing crime against women
Fact: Of the 2,500,000 annual self-defense cases using guns, more than 7.7% (192,500) are by women defending themselves
against sexual abuse.
Fact: When a woman is armed with a gun or knife, only 3% of rape attacks are completed, compared to 32% when unarmed.
Fact: The probability of serious injury from an attack is 2.5 times greater for
women offering no resistance
than for women resisting with a gun.
Fact: 27% of women keep a gun in the house.
Fact: 37.6 million women either own or have rapid access to guns.
Fact: In the sixties, the city of Orlando responded to a wave of sexual assaults
by offering firearms training
classes to women. The number of rapes dropped by nearly 90%.
Myth: You are more likely to be injured
or killed using a gun for self-defense
Fact: You are far more likely to survive a violent assault if you defend yourself
with a gun.
Fact: Every year, people in the United States use a gun to defend themselves against criminals an estimated 2,500,000 times
– more than 6,500 people a day, or once every 13 seconds. In 192 of these instances, 15.6% of the people using a firearm defensively stated that they "almost certainly" saved their lives
by doing so.
Fact: Gun control has not worked in Washington D.C. The only people who have guns are criminals. DC has the strictest gun
laws in the nation and one of the highest murder rates. It's quicker to pull your Smith & Wesson than to dial 911 if you're being burglarized and robbed.
SERIOUS
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:
If guns are effective enough to be a criminal's preferred tool, why are they not
good enough to use
for protection?
Why do politicians insist their bodyguards be armed, but not you and I?
If you and your children were face to face with a male attacker twice your size,
what would you do:
--If you had no previous firearms training and weren't armed?
--If you had received training and were armed?
