Honestly, the best way for women (and men, because it does happen to them too) to defend themselves against domestic abuse and assault is to learn how to recognize the signs and nope out quickly if they see that a new relationship is heading that way. That requires EVEN MORE training than learning how to use a gun, but it’s actually more useful, and a million times safer.
By the time you’re behind closed doors with a loved one and you think you need a gun to defend yourself, the die is already cast and you will probably end up very harmed or dead, at which point the other person will finally be through with you.
