It's not surprising then, that more women than ever want to keep their rights to own and carry a gun.
The reason is simple: Women are concerned about becoming victims of crime. Guns give women a fighting chance against crime.
The new survey, conducted by random telephone sampling of 4,978 households in all the states except Alaska and Hawaii, yield results indicating that American civilians use their firearms as often as 2.5 million times every year defending against a confrontation with a criminal, and that handguns alone account for up to 1.9 million defenses per year. (And that excludes all police, security guards, and military personnel)
Seventy-two percent took place in or near the home, where the gun wouldn't have to be "carried" in a legal sense.
Approximately a half million times a year somebody carrying a gun away from home uses it to defend himself or herself.
