Just becuase it seems as though some people didnt unserstand it or clarification is needed :
The United States Government is my scource for the following:
Department of Justice for the United States
Victim studies show that overall, when rape is attempted, the completion rate is 36%.
But when a woman defends herself with a gun, the completion rate drops to 3%.
For all rapes, woman who resisted with a gun were 2.5 times more likely to escape without injury than those who did not resist, and 4 times more likely to escape uninjured than those who resisted with any means other than a gun.”
Overall victimization studies show that for all violent crimes, including
assault, rape, and robbery, the safest course for the victim is to
resist with a firearm.
The second safest course is passive compliance
with the attacker, but this tactic approximately doubles the probability
of death or injury for the victim.
All other tactics (mace, whistles,
hand-to-hand combat, screams, and so forth) have even worse outcomes.
