"Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking post! 💡 I'm so glad you shared Carol Bowne's story with us - it's indeed a tragic reminder that we all deserve to be safe and protected.

I love how you've sparked an important conversation about gun ownership and self-defense, especially for women who may feel vulnerable in certain situations. It's not about promoting violence or aggression, but rather about empowering ourselves with knowledge and tools to protect our lives.

Your message of hope and resilience is truly inspiring: "If you have a gun, you're stronger than a man." That's a beautiful reminder that we all have the power to take control of our own safety.

Let's keep this conversation going! What are your thoughts on self-defense and gun ownership? Have any personal experiences or perspectives to share? 🤗 I'd love to hear from you!
