Yes I was attacked. I was basically kidnapped taken to a remote location at the end of a deserted road and then raped. After this experience as soon as I can afford it I will have my CCW until then I'm very much more aware of my surroundings and take care not to place myself in a situation where something similar can happen. I was lucky and survived that time and now the perp is spending the next 30 years in prison for his crimes against me. If anything similar ever happens you can believe I will survive unscathed but my attacker will not. That experience opened my eyes to a lot of things. I always had the thought in the back of my head that oh things like that don't happen here in my hometown and the certainly won't happen to me I'm a BIG girl I can take care of myself. When it came down to it I will admitt I was scared sh**less and was only thinking minute to minute on how best to survive what each minute brought. This is why I will do whatever I have to to introduce women to shooting. I will invite them to come shoot with me at any time they want and will do what I have to to help them feel comfortable shooting. I don't want any woman or girl to end up in the position I was in. I feel strongly about women carrying to defend themselves.
Has anyone ever been attacked?
This happened to me back in June '07.
I copied and pasted from another forum so i didnt have to retype it..
"Me and my buddy were gettin some ice from his soon to be father inlaws warehouse.
Well we had filled one cooler up and was working on another one.. When we heard something outside..
Saw this white car go by then back up. it stops. Wasnt too sure what to think. Then i see a shadow on the ground, i look to my buddy and point to the shadow...
it had to be at least 10-15 seconds, then this guy (i got another name but i dont want to offend anyone) comes in, with a yellow shirt wrapped around his face. Grabs my buddy on the shoulder and shoves his finger in his back like he had a gun and said "Give me all your MF money!). My first reaction was to grab the guy, i grabbed him by the neck and pushed him outside.
He wasnt cooperating so i hit him in the head 2 times with this metal ice scoop. i was aiming for his eye but he moved and i hit him in the temple, so then i hit him again. He punched me in the face and i fell to the ground.
I kicked him between the legs 2 times and then he jumped on my buddy who was goin toward my truck. the guy hit my buddy in the back of the head and in the jaw.
I grabbed my XD .40 out of my console and drew down on this guy, then another guy got out of the car, so im steady trying to look for what my buddy is doin, watching both guys..
The first guy jumps in the car and the other one takes off running, im steadly easing toward them with my XD in hand, Finger wasnt on the trigger yet..
Then the guy in the car goes to take off, but forgets his buddy. So im standing here in my stance with my XD pointed at this guys chest (15 yds). The guy throws the car in reverse so i take cover by my truck and turn around and put my finger on the trigger and had it aimed at the drivers head.
The other guy jumps in the car and off they go..
I check on my buddy and he aint hurt too bad, just bruised,, i got a swollen eye and small cut.. and pissed,,, my buddy called the Police which aint but 300yds away.
Get a car over there and we tell them what happened.. my adrenline was pumping so much that everything i did was by instinct."
(Big thanks to Cliff also, i had shot in a match or 2 and he spent some time with me after one of them and it helped a bunch)
