Home & Personal Safety & Protection

Thank you all for the advice and input! I really appreciate it!

I have never in my life been someone to worry about my own personal safety...in fact, I am a bit too relaxed in some ways. I grew up in a small town where we never had to lock our doors and my dad left his car keys in the ignition. But, I am a single mom and I do worry about what I would do if someone were to break into my home with the intent to hurt me and/or my daughters. I mean I'm quick and feisty, but if it came down to me versus a 6ft man...well. I totally understand the line of thinking that stems from if my time is up - my time is up...but, goddammit, I am going to fight to my death before someone ever rapes me again! And the same goes for my girls.

It's not an easy decision and one I don't take lightly. I think my first step will be to get some hands on experience with a firearm and then go from there.
