I can agree with statistics. I guess it's my fiesty nature and watching lots of crime shows. I carry a large hunting knife in my car and a "pig sticker" in my purse. No one's taking this bitch down without a fight.
I on one occasion had my knife ready to go in my pocket. I was in a building we were working on. It was still under construction and there were various contractors roaming about. Being a woman in this atmosphere I gathered alot of attention. One of the contractors was really freaking me out. He was following me there was no one else in the building and I got a really bad vibe from this guy. I finished my business and got out of there.
Another point is, living in the country you have many wild creatures roaming on your property. I can't even remember how many water moccasans and rattle snakes we have killed over the years. I won't kill the non venomous snakes, they keep away the bad snakes.
