This is the best observation.
Back to the original topic...
Can she shoot the "target" when the need arises? Mrs. Beard has said she isn't sure she can pull the trigger when the time comes. And with that, a gun for self-defense makes no sense for her.
Your daughter needs to soul search and understand the consequences of lethal self-defense. I am an advocate for anyone to learn armed self-defense. But they have to have the fortitude to use the weapon when the time comes.
On the topic of learning a martial art. It could help in certain circumstances. But the whole 100 lb person taking out the 250 lb attacker is a Hollywood meme.
