[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good thread.  My college DD has been educated many times to not take unnecessary risks. She is not a person who will go out drinking without several of her friends, she limits going out with flakey friends or who make bad decisions, she is aware that people can roofie you etc.  2 of her friends have gotten raped at college BTW after they were roofied so this is not all theoretical for her.  She steers clear of Greek life at all times.

She does not use Tinder etc to date and mostly has met people on campus. She has a pepper spray in her car and on her key chain. She does location sharing on phone with us. Her car has an emergency service. She always has someone  walk her to her car in a parking spot and she parks in a lit place.

She has dated quite a bit in college but most of her first dates are with fellow college students in public events at campus in the day time and she strategically has her friends spread around at events so that she is safe.  She is careful of her digital foot print. Unfortunately, people can be harmed even after doing all of this. It is sad that you have to be forever vigilant.  We are super careful people.

I want to buy her a small gun but she is not interested. We are teaching her to shoot though and she has a license.

“I want to buy her a small gun.”

And you’re the one teaching her to shoot?  Gawd I hope not. Because if you know anything about guns you know the smaller they are the harder they are to use well. [/quote]

Oh no. I am not teaching her to shoot, even though I am pretty good shot, at least when I practice at the shooting center.   She is learning at a professional gun range too. And yes, the instructor said that small guns are hard to use. Still, I keep thinking that even if it is not very accurate at least it is something that can be carried by women. [/quote]
