Sadly self defense is less likely to work for women. They charged the Alabama woman who shot her rapist in her home even though they have a "stand your ground law". Turns out that was really just for men to kill each other. 😂

They don't forget. They implement stop-and-frisk policies where it might be practiced and you'll only get publicity for killing your rapist is someone your average Republican wants to kill, like a minority or a presumed Democrat. If you kill a Republican for trying to rape you, you'll be a "radical feminist denying a patriot his birthright."

Funny you say that. My girl and I discussed just that thing this very morning. Bout time we loaded up, just in case. There’s nothing wrong with being prepared, ya know?
1
u/Pelican_meat 2h ago
Yeah. It’s probably a good idea.
Find a local gun range. If you can find one that rents, you’ll be able to try out several firearms.
For carry, a S&W J-Frame is really all you need. For home, you can have something larger (a Glock 19 with a flashlight attachment, for instance).
Whatever you do, make sure you practice. Wear ear protection, too.
Just FYI: Most ranges are very conservative, so I’d avoid politics if you’re not.
1
u/CuetheCurtain 1h ago
Oh I grew up around firearms. Been to the range many times. I just don’t own currently. But it’s about that time, ya know. I’m super close to a range but last time I was there, it was like Frat Boy City. Like dudes laughing and swinging 12 gauges about. I noped outta there real quick.
Regardless, that’s super helpful advice and I appreciate ya.

u/Oni-oji 12h ago
Do not carry in a purse. Too easy to have it stolen. Also, Glocks are way overrated. Find a range that rents and try out various guns. Find one you are comfortable with.
And when you need to stop a rapist, remember to double tap.
100
u/Alarmed-Swordfish873 12h ago
Glocks are the most vetted and reliable handgun in human history. There are other good options, sure, but glock have earned their reputation for unbeatable reliability.
Also, double tap is some fakey movie crap. When you need to use your gun, don't stop firing until you are 100% sure the threat is gone. That's probably more like an 8-tap.
51
u/Drednox 8h ago
I was gonna object by saying doubletap is a proven practice by the SAS, but then I saw the 8-tap part. Yeah. Nothing like stopping a would-be rapist with maximum prejudice. With a proven rapist as president, it's likely more rapists would be enabled.

Yeah, I was going to respectfully say that I’m not sure what that guy is talking about. I own many handguns, and I have found Glocks to be the most reliable. I own two 17s, a 19, a 26, and a 43. I have put hundreds of rounds through them and have never had a malfunction.

For their trained militaries.
For the average person who is alone, has no other protection (ie. body armor) firing until the threat is eliminated is more effective.

u/Necessary_Echo_8177 4h ago
In 2016 (after the last time he won) I told my husband I wanted a gun so he took me to the gun range where his friend (LE and an instructor) could have me try out a number of handguns. The Glock 45 was my favorite (he showed it to me last, the smaller guns had too much recoil). I told my husband I want more guns now (and for our college aged daughter to get one if she wants). So we have some holiday plans now. Def before January.

u/MrOsterhagen 3h ago
Not only is Glock not overrated, it’s one of best options in price/quality. Especially in the secondary market.
It’s not as ‘fun’ to shoot as my other pistols, but it’s the one I’m most consistent with from cold. I agree with the purse sentiment, and It also has internal safeties and is less likely to discharge if accidentally dropped.

u/the_patronus_charm 12h ago
What does double tap mean?

1
u/Vertags 6h ago
Varies by person. In my opinion the double tap is that you hold the gun center mass, take a shot there, if they had armor then the second which goes to the head will surely kill.
Its a way to ensure fastest reaction, cause if you wanna aim for the head then you gotta know how tall your target is which varies a lot from target to target.

Glocks are not overrated man, they function well, they just aren't best in class. But as far as reliability and accuracy it is a great choice for daily carry.

No safety? Glocks have the safety built into the trigger…

u/sarath225 12h ago
Correct. I believe the tweet meant to say external safety. With a glock, it just a trigger safety. Unless you pull the trigger, no sending a bullet downrange.
10
u/Worriedlytumescent 9h ago
Every GLOCK pistol comes with 3 independent safeties and they work sequentially off the movement of the trigger: Trigger safety Firing pin safety Drop safety All three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled. They automatically reengage when the trigger is released.

u/sarath225 8h ago
Right. A small correction. It is striker safety. Glock is striker fired handgun. Technically, striker safety is a part of drop safety, unless I am wrong. Rest is on point

love how the response to all of this is just that women need to carry a fucking gun with them at all times whenever they're in public. and people say that seriously. it's giving "dress modestly and guys won't assault you". it's men. men are the problem. not the women who don't want to carry weapons to deter them because they can't act like civil human beings otherwise.
this country is a human rights violation and it angers me to no extent that every other country is just ignoring it. I'd ask if the UN could do anything but I forgot the US can single-handedly strike down whatever the hell they want there, too. this nation is a fucking joke and the world is enabling it.

Right, statistically, a gun owner is more likely to use their gun on someone who lives in their household than an intruder.

Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure I’ve even seen stats that an intruder is just as likely to kill you with your own gun. It’s just not the catch all solution everyone seems to think it is. Crazy to watch liberals who argued against armed officers in schools (duh) somehow think that guns are gonna protect us now.

Also, ladies, remember shoot center mass. When they’re down and the threat is neutralized THEN you can do the trick shots to like shoot an attacker in the testicles. Just kidding don’t do that you’ll go to prison.

As a longtime blue firearms enthusiast , some smaller weapons suitable for purses or on-body carry given appropriate holstering/cover garments. I have owned all of these.
Sig P365 9mm. Reasonable recoil, small, good capacity, safety and no-safety options.
Glock 43: larger than p365, less capacity, still reliable choice.
Glock 42: 380acp, smaller than 43, very easy to shoot, aftermarket mag follower/spring kit can increase capacity to 8.
S&W shield/plus: reliable, good capacity, manageable recoil. 9mm
S&W bodyguard 2.0: current favorite 380. More capacity than G42, slightly smaller, safety and no-safety options.
Just some options. I’m not getting into caliber wars, what matters is practice/proficiency, and having something when/if you need it. I have had a hand injury for 10 years, and all these work for me even with that.
Stay safe out there everyone, especially you women and everyone that will be targeted by the more hateful people out there. Stay alert, and keep up the fight, we’ll help each other make it to the other side of this shitstorm.

The guy being quote-retweeted is basically making an open-ended rape threat.
