Everyone,
DON'T carry a gun to "protect" yourself. Buy, train and carry a gun to kill someone who is going to violate you or someone you love. If you can't deal with the fact that you really need to kill someone with that gun when needed then DON'T start down this road out of anger. The gun will be taken from you and then you will probably be killed instead of robbed and/or violated. As difficult as being violated is, living with the knowledge that you have taken someones life is not much of a trade off, both need serious counseling and healing. It is better to use your energy to prevent these crimes to others and yourself by helping programs that address; teen drug and alcohol addiction, victims of pornography, prostitution and human trafficking , or victims of physical violence to women and men. Most of these issues we all have a connection to some degree but turn a blind eye to the devastating nature of these vises and the impact it has on "Other" people until it hits home. These vises destroy people, families, homes, and communities.
Wideawake and Courtney,
My deep sorrow for this TERRIBLE experience you both have gone through. As others have said, I will pray for you. The only real comfort can be found in a loving God who can replace hurt, anger and fear with peace, joy and confidence. My prayer will be that God will somehow use this terrible experience to draw you closer to Himself. God bless.
............Any update?................
