If only the world was safe enough to live life without a weapon. I doubt everyone would have the time and patience to learn hand to hannd combat. That si simply not going to happen.
I wish anti-weapon people would see that not everyone is a killer, and some love to collect guns and weapons.
And, if you really care about the innocent, how come your against every weapon of self defense? I doubt an old lady would be able to learn kung-fu.
I'm not against weapons being used in self-defense but too often are weapons pulled out in anger and fired or stabbed into someone without a second thought. I also wonder what kind of world you live in if the burglar in my house will kill me if I don't have a weapon.
THe fact is, weapons are not built for defense. They are built to injure, to cause harm. No, not everyone is a killer but the line is easy to cross. If you don't have a weapon and you get angry, you slap the person you're angry at or walk away. People feel safer with weapons, yes. But that also makes them more likely to hurt someone.
Not every woman with a weapon is going to hurt an innocent person with it, but attackers generally don't give you time to whip out your taser and the better ones don't give any warning and really don't look all that dangerous. Unless you actually have a warning, how effective is that weapon that needs pulled out, aimed and fired going to be if the time needed is more than the time taken for an effective attacker to grab and disarm you.

The operative word is harmful here people. Give me a weapon that is guaranteed not to kill and ok, it's fine. We shouldn't discriminate against people who are taller or stronger because they look dangerous. Permits do not stop crime. THey allow people to carry the weapons that they are afraid of legally.
Anything can be used as a weapon, a baseball bat, a rock, a plastic bag, anything. Are you going to make the entire live in little boxes where they can't use anything to kill someone? There are no bad guns, just bad gun owners. | | | |

Have you ever fired a gun? Sure, guns were made to injure, but things have evolved since then.
And unless you're a Chuck Norris clone, you'd have to be quick to disarm someone before they pulled out they're gun or weapon. You'd be surprised how fast some people can draw there weapon out.
