I am a retired infant/toddler and art teacher (old lady) and did Karate for 2 years, Aikido for about 3, and then Judo 10 plus years until it took me 3 or more weeks to recover from strains, sprains, etc. I prefer to control the damage I do. PLUS, I am a klutz and am the very last person on the planet that should have a lethal weapon. I can't take back a bullet. Everyone needs to have the ability to protect their home and family. I just don't want them to have 100 round clips. PS I still miss Judo!
