I have pistol (barbie pink) and they made me learn to shoot it... but I keep it locked up and do not carry it with me like they would like. So my son bought me a stun gun. It stays in my glove compartment in my vehicle... and if I could find it and figure out what to do with it in an emergency it would be iffy. But it makes my son feel better.
Most of my family deer hunt (turkey hunt etc) so they had me shoot the bow that belongs to my 19-year-old great niece. I didn't hate doing it... so the hubby bought me the bow. lol... But it is large and cumbersome... and it isn't like I am going to carry it around on my hip for protection. Men are strange creatures.
