Let's Get Controversial
Shall we?My contention is this: We all have the right to defend ourselves. The average man can kill the average woman with his bare hands. Taking away a woman's means of defending herself is depriving her of the right to defend herself. (Pretty clear and logical, I think.)
People in other countries get the idea that firearms cause a lot of unnecessary death and suffering. Actually, crazy people cause a lot of unnecessary suffering and death. Governments do too. Why just now my own government is trying to talk its self into starting yet another transparently self serving war over resources in Syria under the guise of a call to stand up for liberty and justice in moral indignation. It makes me want to barf.
Let me be candid, as that is just the way I like to handle things. I have deterred at least half a dozen assaults and car jackings in my life by prodcing my 9mm. Bad guys run away in general when you produce a firearm. No one reports that they almost got raped, assaulted, their car jacked, or kidnapped when they produced a firearm and deterred the crime. Accordingly, the impression those in other countries get is that firearms are a blight and yet I, as a woman, have, because of my firearm, the ability to go where I choose, when I choose to do so. I am no hostage to fear.
I am interested in all CIVIL and RESPECTFUL and well thought out feedback and questions and I thank you ahead of time for the same. Rude, offensive remarks will not be answered and will be deleted.
Have a beautiful day.

If you do get the chance to look that up or ask someone who would know, I'd appreciate the info. I like Spain and have oft considered the area of Barcelona as a place I might like to be.
How's the scuba diving over thataway? Do they allow spear fishing?
Bob, yes I can the logic in that but I'm still concerned that all that only works if the "other guy" is unarmed, it's like the scene in Crocodile Dundee when the mugger pulls a knife & he says " Call that a knife? This is a knife" laugh very funny in a film but in real life USA the mugger is just as likely to then pull out a gun, so what then, my guns bigger than your gun
If he pulls out a gun ,that means
a. he has a unregistered weapon and we`re gonna have a Mexican standoff
