I'm interested to know what percentage of female nomads carry firearms for protection/self-defense - I grew up in an urban environment and have always been averse to guns and have never owned one, much less fired one, but I confess that I began tilting toward the idea recently.
Of course, when I was younger, I had more of a physical capacity to defend myself (or run away from danger, at least) but I'm middle-aged now and physically disabled, so fending off an attacker would be difficult, and running away is no longer an option.
I do count on other self-defense items (pepper spray/bear spray, knives, blunt objects, whistles, and of course, good ole' common sense and situational awareness) but still, I wonder if a handgun wouldn't be prudent at this stage in the game.
No need to disclose whether you have a gun or not, this is really just a dialogue about what lengths we go to in order to feel safe out there.
