Watch the video and see how quickly it can go down (man or woman, the attacker was a large individual and came on fast). Not to invite the stench of the cloak room here, but a trained individual with a concealed carry can be a great equalizer against a physically superior antagonist. Provided they (LTC individual) spent the necessary time learning their craft.
A ccw definitely gives you a false sense of security. If you carry, you gotta know how to use it.

I don’t really know what all but the most experienced person could do once a guy that size gets close enough to leverage his weight. Hard to get a weapon out with that pressed against you. Hard to breathe.
I was joking about the Krav Maga part, but a good knowledge of self defense is warranted. And remind her to fight dirty.

20 minutes ago, CurlyDumps said:If you suffered years of abuse from a narcissistic, abusive ex-wife, your life became a national story, and as a result your ex became a minor celebrity with a social media following and a podcast while continuing to abuse you on social media with support behind her, then you’d relish the opportunity to release proof of her lies and behavior. And if you were constantly harassed via thousands of text messages for years, you probably wouldn’t consider them personal.
Victims of coercive control will tell you the physical abuse is nothing compared to the psychological abuse. If Courtney Smith posted photos of her battered face on Twitter, would you shame her for putting “personal shit” on the Internet?
You're right on all of that. But...
How does she benefit from airing all of this? How do her kids benefit? In that blog she suggests she doesn't have the Hermans' permission to discuss the depth of their involvement. (If that's the case) how does all this benefit THEM?
Crazy creates crazy. She mighta been a little "touched" before all this, and maybe not. Regardless, he made her decidedly worse.

The Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on the planet and is fairly close to the Equator, meaning it gets lots of sun.
Thank you. That's what I thought, but I also think there's a desert around there that's foggy all the time?
From these solar farms in the desert, how far can the electricity be economically "pushed?"

I say this not as a Conservative, or even as a spokesman for Conservatism, but simply as an observer. If the platforms of the Democrats running for President are to be taken at face value, many Conservatives and moderates will vote for President Trump for the same reason we did last time: fear of Socialism.
That said, candidates for each party always hafta go extreme in the primaries, and all the dumb stuff you hear Warren, Sanders, etc saying they'd disavow after being elected. Every President, from both sides, always does it. Regardless, the fear is real.
