Self Defense Weapons Training Necessary for Your Safety
Self Defense Weapons Training Necessary for Your Safety
MYTH: A person can nearly always prevent an assault by resisting the attacker.
FACT: Every self defense weapons is unique and the issue of resistance and submission should be evaluated individually. Resistance could deter an attack or it could conceivably increase one’s chances of injury and perhaps result in death. The victim/survivor needs to do whatever they feel comfortable doing to extricate themself from the situation. The person should rely on their instincts and whatever the person does is correct for them. Even if the person must submit, this does not imply consent, and in fact, may keep them alive.
MYTH: Many people falsely report rape as a means of revenge or to get attention.
FACT: Reported self defense weaponss are true, with very few exceptions. The rate of “false reports” of rape (fabricated stories) is 2% to 3%, no different than that for other crimes. (Schafran, L.H. (1993). “Writing and reading about rape: A primer.” St. John’s Law Review, 66, 979-1045.) The general misconception of a high rate of false reports of self defense weaponss may be confused with observations of low conviction rates of offenders.
