Yeah, I didn't get that either. I mean, I might not be able actually to get a bullet into a person -- hand/eye coordination (for motions bigger than, say, playing the piano or using a keyboard) was never my strong suit. But I'm sure as heck going to try to hurt an assailant before he/she hurts me!

And being 4'11" -- and one of 3 siblings whose births spanned only 33 months -- I'm definitely used to the idea of fighting dirty regardless of gender.
