You would be surprised how a man can put up a fight for a brief period even when he has been shot, especially if he was full of adrenalin and fighting for his wifes life. Depending on the caliber of the weapon and where you are shot you still may be able to grab and briefly wrestle your attacker if shot at very close range. During that second or two, she's out the door.

or she's shot in the back. you guys sure seem eager to risk your wife's life in order to assuage your guilt

What guarantee do you have that he will "merely" rape her? I figure 50/50 he'll kill you both after anyway.

which is why you don't go around unarmed. a situation like that, you are pretty well screwed no matter what you do.

Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on the exact circumstances, and the individuals involved.


Certainly there are times where discretion is the better part of valor... but it depends on what is on the line. I don't figure there is anything "mere" about rape... it is a degradation second to none.

Sure, there are situations where the most likely outcome is "you're dead". But the only true no-win-scenario is the no-try scenario.
 
I am going to have to go with "it depends". I would risk my own life in a heart beat to stop my wife, or any woman for that matter, from being raped. That doesn't mean I would want to risk HER life. I am not going to take any action that will likely get her killed. If I can risk my own life without putting her own life at any more risk than it already is in that situation, yeah, I would do it.
 
I have been involved with two attacks. Once in Atlanta, a masked man tried to rob me at a gas station, I gave him 10 gallons of premium right in the face, took his weapon away and stomped his head really good.

The second time a guy in Memphis wanted my wallet, he had a knife, I said NO. He tried to stab me and I still have the scar on my right hand from defending myself.

The above situation, if I had access to a gun, I would shoot him without question. If he had one and I did not I would wait for opportunity, either way I don't think he would leave the area alive, but who can say for sure.

Yeah, but things change when your loved ones are around. I have also been held up twice. Once in DC where I fought back and ended up chasing the guy away. I was alone. The other time was in Cambodia. The guy had a knife and I am confident I could have taken him. But my wife and young son were with me. I gave him my wallet.

Sure. Everything is situation-dependent, and milage always varies. If you figure you can let the guy take your wallet and he'll go, and you have loved one's in harm's way, it's worth a try.

Just have a plan B in case the wallet doesn't suffice...
 
This is where I have a BIG problem with men in our society. They are a bunch of mangina's that put females on a pedestal. Any man who will simply throw his life away to protect a woman who is being raped in the situation above is in my eyes, an idiot. Women rarely die from being raped and their attackers very rarely kill them after the rape. Best course of action is, if you can, get the best description of the rapist and report it to the police. By saying that you would die to prevent a rape you are basically telling women that their vagina is worth more than your life. I think that is a horrible thing to say and is down right sexist and mysandric. I cant stand women who applaud men who are nearly tripping over themselves to die for their vagina. I think its sick!! But it is rampant in our society. Women are constantly being put on a pedestal by these idiot mangina's and that is why you can pretty much go to any club and find some dumb woman slapping the crap out of a guy... and a guy gets tired of it and puts her on her ass, and everyone wants to beat the guys ass for "punching a girl".

Best course of action when a gun is involved is to call the police and give them a description of the rapist.... Let them handle it. Your life is worth more than some chicks vagina.

Yes, because women are only vaginas, not people. And rape is only about damage to a vagina, not the beating women usually take while being raped. Or like that woman in India who was penetrated with objects that tore her internal organs, beaten and dumped off a bus. No, no, no! It's only rape, not life threatening. So we should just shut up about it already.

One of the worst misogynist rants I've ever read here.

... and he wonders why we have trouble taking him seriously when he pontificates on the subject of self-defense... well, this would be a prime example...
 
I'd tell him to have a jolly good time, didn't like the old hag that much anyway, wait til he mounts and then break his neck.

"Self" and only self being of the greatest concern, Goshin. It is a prime example of a lot of other things too.
 
I love how all these people who have never seen any kind of armed conflict/combat are so eager to throw their lives away in a useless gesture that would only cause more pain to their loved one.
As I've said in a few threads over the years, I've been attacked by a person with a weapon in the past. Got cut, still have a scar but I did not back down and that was my own personal safety on the line, if it's a loved one they are ahead of myself in order of importance so if I didn't run on my own behalf I'm definitely not running when my loved ones are under duress.:peace
 
Your views are very interesting. I hope you don't see women simply as vaginas because I kinda think you do. Did you get into trouble somehow for putting a woman on her ass because she was slapping you?

I dont, if I did I would be like half the idiots here that would step in front of a bullet. The real question is when women will stop expecting us to treat them like just a vagina.

No, but if a woman starts hitting me I am going to hit back.
 
if a man with a gun wanted to rape your wife and threatened to kill you if you attempt to attack him to protect yourself and your wife ,what would your reaction be ?

as a woman , if l really believe he deserves my devotion , l would do everything to protect him.

so he must do the same thing ,l believe.

I can't imagine anyone going to say "I'll just step back and let him do whatever he wants to the person I love hte most" :shrug:

Made no sense whatsoever.


You think rape is "merely" a threat to the vagina alone? Holy **** bud, do you even KNOW any female human beings?
 
I am going to have to go with "it depends". I would risk my own life in a heart beat to stop my wife, or any woman for that matter, from being raped. That doesn't mean I would want to risk HER life. I am not going to take any action that will likely get her killed. If I can risk my own life without putting her own life at any more risk than it already is in that situation, yeah, I would do it.
I think that's pretty much the consensus. If an attacker had a gun to the head of my wife then rushing in is off the table, if he is too busy trying to rape her that he takes his eyes off of me I'm going in for a brutal strike on his person, it's all about what advantages/disadvantages are present.
 
I'd tell him to have a jolly good time, didn't like the old hag that much anyway, wait til he mounts and then break his neck.
The reverse psychology defense! There may need to be some relationship therapy after though. But at least the only person dead would be the attacker.:lamo

You think bullets are a threat to a humans body?

reverse psychology
 
There are two many unknowns to answer.

What are the odds? Why would I believe he wouldn't kill me anyway and then there'd be nothing I could ever do. Is she maybe setting the stage for a moment's diversion so I could take him down. For that matter, who is that guy? Do I know him? Does he? There's a lot of unknowns in that.
