Self Defense Techniques for Single Women - Are Weapons an Option?

By Reba Brinker


It is a false impression that firearms are only for men. Self protection firearms are a must for everyone, particularly females who may be unwary targets of rape and robbery. The awareness has increased so females are now even more cautious about their personal security. There is danger in every area right now, particularly for females who travel to and from work. Individuals in general need to be anxious about thieves, but females in particular have to watch out for rapists who may attack from the shadows.

A woman must be specifically wary of dark places. It is difficult to avoid this kind of situation. Women who have part time jobs often drive home late in the dead of night after the late shift. At evening, the streets are deserted. There are also very few people walking around. Because of the cover of darkness, muggers attack during these times.

So, should women buy weapons? But before women buy these dangerous guns, consciousness and knowledge are crucial. Firearms can be self defense firearms, or they could be deadly firearms if taken from someone by a mugger. Besides target shooting, any new weapons owner should take time to learn how to clean his or her gun. Handguns upkeep and safe storage should also be researched.

Legalities of using firearms should be addressed before purchase. You need to find out if you are allowed to purchase and carry weapons in your city. If one is simply buying a guns from a friend, she should find out what laws apply to her in her state. There may even be some reasons why a person would not be granted a license.

Some people are not permitted to carry guns as a consequence of their psychological and emotional instability. Against an opponent who could be armed as well, someone must show caution and be more aware of her surroundings. A woman should also be aware of the consequences of carrying a firearm. A woman may choose oc spray instead of weapons or stun weapons.
