Straightarrow is correct. Violence being a necessary evil isn't my position, but what I've heard echoed. "I wish we did not need weapons... but we do, and therefore it would be prudent for me to have one" is the final conclusion I've heard several women reach.
The first firearm purchase is because I came from a very gun-fearing family. That's not something I can control. I married young and had a very tight budget. So with money only for one gun, we realized if it should fit anyone, it should fit the wife, who stays home with the kids, not me, who works in a guarded building, in a gun-fearing state. Hence, the first gun is hers.
Second gun is mine, but that's mostly just funsies :)
