I have no data at hand, but my observations tell me that far more men than women own guns. A quick search found one website quoting a Gallup poll stating that "Men are five times more likely than women to own a gun". Defensive tactics such as using good judgement, knives, tasers, and chemical sprays are available and pretty effective and in far wider use now than guns are for self-protection. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362080 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
