... However, I have never had anyone 'come at me with menace,' and so I've never really felt the need to defend myself in such dire circumstances. I often, as I don't doubt many women do, wonder how I would react if I were to feel so threatened that I needed to look for a weapon.
If you have to "look" for a weapon when you fear for the continued safety of yourself or loved ones ... you and they are probably going to get badly hurt, at the very least. The time to plan what to do "in extremis", and practice that plan, is NOW, not at the moment of duress. And while combat and/or police training is a great help, personal defense training is readily available to those who want it.
The big question always is, "What would I do if faced with a situation where I might have to kill another human?" There is no way to really answer this until it happens to you, but most people find that their survival instincts take over and they do what needs to be done. There is plenty of time to soul-search later ... but only if you've prevailed and are still alive.
