Wow you are a fast reader. Thanks for the review.CHLLady wrote:Ok Jumping Frog, I finished the book. Sure enough the topic of guns for personal protection did not come up until the end of the book. The book was written in 2007. She cited stats from a book written by Karen Brock (A Deadly Myth: Women, Handguns, and Self-defense) and took the info. From the Violence Policy Center. I went to their page and read their stats from 1998. Basically, they claim the FBI stats show that guns are used against women more often than women use guns for self defense. They said among many other things that women who own guns are rare. I believe this is outdated.
I think the statement about women owning guns in old. The current 2103 stats from DPS show that 27.6% of CHL holders are women. That doesn't include the women who don't have their CHL.
