RShaw,
regarding helpless, At no time in my entire life have I been able to deal with multiple attackers. Yes that has occurred on more than one occasion. There was a time when I could outrun a threat, then I had children to protect so running was not an option. Children are now out on their own but unfortunately age and shin splints has ended that era. I am glad to see you are examining your defense options as failure to plan is planning to fail. The odds are that the plan will never be needed - but someone always does win the lottery |

Over 170,000 people die annually in the US due to miscellaneous accidents, far and away most involve automobiles. Not counted in accidents, less than 40,000 deaths are firearms-related and most of those are suicides. Drug-related deaths exceed firearms-related deaths almost 2 to 1 (70 thousand deaths due to drugs in 2019)
We have over 330 million people in the US which means we have 330 one-in-a-million violent nut jobs. My guestimate is 3/4 of them are undiagnosed, 1/3 of them are gang or cult members, and 1/2 of them are in congress. Do not be fooled by the press |
