Who? The men in the black helicopter over your house right now?

I carry a gun everywhere I go. It's just something I have exactly like I always have my wallet, cell phone and car keys and molti-tool. I don't *want* to be involved in or encounter a car accident, but I have a 1st aid kit and small fire extinguisher in my trunk. I don't *want* my home burned down, but I still keep important papers in a fire safe. Same thing with a gun: I would rather have it an not need it, then need it and not have it.In what world would you be carrying a firearm everywhere you go and in what world would you want to?
Yeah, go ahead and feel good about your ability to handle a rapist without a firearm... The rest of us can live in the real world.

Why would you assume someone came after me with a gun? That's just an odd thing to assume, quite out of place and an alien way of thinking.Why, did someone come at you with a gun?
If Scots had a rifle in their closet, they wouldn't have the church in their government. Think about that before you criticize.I appreciate that, as you live in a violent gun culture.
If you could choose, would you choose to live that way or in a gun free society where you don't have to carry a gun?

The most effective way to avoid rape as with all potentially dangerous situations, is to avoid being in a situation where it can occur and if you suspect danger, remove yourself from the area.
Awareness...better than assault weapons.

Someone thought I cut them off on the road. They tailgated me to a red light, where they then got out and walked up to my car. I had locked my doors and put my pistol on my lap. When the guy got up to my window I pointed at my gun, he turned right around and got back in his car, and drove a different way.
A few years earlier, some gang-banger was trying to brake into my son's 2nd floor room, because he was fleeing from the cops, because he was just involved with a beating which resulted in the victim's death. I drew my pistol, pointed it at him and said "wrong house". He got an 'oh ****' expression, jumped down and ran off another way.
A few years before that I was in a town with a feral dog and snake problem. That's why I originally started carrying a gun at all, for dogs and snakes.

I can choose, and I choose the gun culture.
Nice, a country that says 'let them be raped!' ... what's not to love?
Awareness and avoidance are great. I teach them anytime I do a self-defense or defensive handgunning class.
Those plus a few other things take care of 90% of threats. It's the other 10% that can be a major problem for the unarmed.
You're assuming someone has to have a gun in order for me to be able to kill them with mine. That's not true. Let's assume this road-rager was completely unarmed: had he broken my car window with his fist, I could have legally shot him. If an unarmed bugler kicked in my front door at this very moment, I could kill them. If an unarmed rapist slapped the **** out some women and was forcing himself on her, I could kill him.What is it about the information above (most of which you provided) that would not lead one to think your assailant might have a gun? You live in a gun culture. Which is alien to the rest of us.
To which my answer would simply be "yes".Why, did someone [attempt a forcible felony against you]?
If you're teaching handgunning class, you're missing the point of those techniques.
More so where the potential attacker is armed.
A modern gun grab isn't going to look like a door-to-door search. A modern gun grab is going to begin years before with registration. Then, when it's time for the grab, you'll simply be told to turn them in. You'll be given a deadline. At that deadline, if you haven't turned in a gun, your assets will be frozen until you do. If you say you don't have the gun to turn in, you go to jail for failure to report, which is why NY is tightening their gun-theft reporting laws. Even if you get away with faking a theft, you will still be held and charged with petty offences, basically harassed into bankruptcy, lose of trade certifications, your job, etc.
So when you say "they'll get the bullets first", you won't be inside your home when you shoot, because no one is coming over. You will have to go to them to shoot. You will have to rob the bank that holds your money. You will have to go to the turn-in station and open fire. That's what you're saying you're going to do when you say "they'll get the bullets first", you're saying you will actively seek them out.
Please, enough with all the tough-guy talk. Lets look at viable strategies on how to win the day.

Feral dogs are still open targets in the 'stan. You don't even need to request it....you see a dog out there, you call up "test fire" and shoot it with a machine gun. No questions asked.Feral dogs can be a bitch when they pack up. Good for target practice though. For those of you PETA twits I am with PETA myself. People Eating Tasty Animals. Besides the crows gotta eat too.
I see you're a high quality poster, but you'll forgive me if I don't respond as your post appears to be lacking a point and containing an inept level of masterbaiting.

But shoot a dog with a much lower powered hand gun in some states and 'oh noes think of the children'.
They could only really enforce this for registered guns, otherwise how will they know who does or doesn't have guns, and how many?
