"The numbers that follow are estimates from prison and general population surveys and should be within five percent of the actual numbers.
Surveys suggest some 1,100,000 contemplated rapes, 3,000 contemplated sexual assaults a day are never attempted, because of the known or possible presence of a gun.
Intended victims stop their own rape by showing or using a gun 215,000 times a year, or 600 times a day.
Despite that, 380,000 rapes are attempted every year, and 240,000 attempted rapes were completed
85,000 rapes were reported to the police, or a year, 236 rapes a day, were reported to the police.
In sum, far more rapes are prevented by the possible or demonstrated presence of a gun than are competed. “Forcible sexual assault” is a terrible crime, and often leaves victims emotionally crippled for life.
The completion rate against armed victims is less than one percent, while attempts at physical resistance have a completion rate in excess of 70 percent.
As usual, it becomes a case of “take precautions or suffer the consequences.” For safety, one of the most effective precautions, short of locking yourself in a bank vault, is to carry a concealed weapon that you know how to use."
