As a woman who has been sexually assaulted before, I am looking for ways to protect myself from future attacks without relying on law enforcement. Is it okay for me to carry a weapon for self-defense?

Yes, carrying a weapon for self-defense is an option for women who have experienced sexual assault and would like to protect themselves from future attacks. It is important to be aware of local laws that may regulate the use and/or possession of weapons, as well as obtain any required permits before proceeding. Additionally, any woman considering this form of self-defense should seek adequate training in how to use the weapon safely and effectively.

Women are legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense if they have the necessary permits and training, however, law enforcement should still be considered as the first line of defense. There are measures that can be taken to improve safety and reduce chances of attack including being aware of one’s environment, minimizing risk by avoiding places or situations that present a potential threat and making sure that one is familiar with the laws regarding use of force/weapons in self-defense in one’s region.
