Owning guns definetely does not help. For both the attakcker and you. I even believe and trust you in acting reasonable. Can you say this about other people though?
> I've also had enough real-world experiences to know that violence can become deadly in an instant.
Why are you in a situation to begin with?
> Situational awareness is often more valuable than force.
Yes.
> I also believe self-defense is especially important for women.
Totally! There should be free martial art courses for FLINTA*!
> The goal is not to live in fear, but to move through the world with greater capability, responsibility, and peace of mind.
Yes.
Like any skill, self-defense is perishable.

So why should everyone just be able to get a gun?
> In the moments that matter most, we are often our own first responders.
Again, why you think there is a realistic chance to be in such a situation to begin with?
> Carrying a tool is not the same thing as knowing how to use it.
Can't you replace if with a non-lethal weapon like bear spray?
It is often the case that an attacker will take a tool from someone who is unprepared to use it and turn it against them.
> Tools are amoral.
People are stupid and unmoral.
