It's up to every woman to know if she's going to be able to pull on and use one. If you are likely to freeze and the attacker could end up using it on you, don't carry one. If you are not willing to accept the potential liability of misusing one, don't carry one. But don't ever tell any other person THEY can't defend THEMSELVES.. People who dissuade other good people from being protected are responsible for a lot of innocent people being defenseless. At least if you have one, you've got a chance... And yeah, women with guns ARE hot.. women who can fight ARE hot..
