Ok. Every time I see this question I ask the same things: would you have the right state of mind to draw the weapon and then shoot someone? If you happen to hit them, could you live with the fact that you may kill or maim them? Presuming carrying is legal in your state, if you decide to do it, get training from a certified instructor - and I don’t mean a few hours of training to get your carry permit. You need to develop muscle memory so how you react becomes a reflex, like breathing. Meanwhile, see if a security guard or guy in your office is willing to walk you to the bus or start by carrying mace and taking women’s self-defense courses. Finally, consider if some of your concerns are rational and not rooted in repressed bigotry. I worked with “a lot of blacks” who had my back in very bad situations.
I never called her a bigot my friend. Feel free to reread the comment a little more carefully or think what you will.
As a former military policeman I know about crime statistics, including those published by non-military sources and organizations.
You literally stated 'Finally, consider if some of your concerns are rational and not rooted in repressed bigotry'. Meaning that you're suggesting she's a bigot and she's unaware of this.
(I should point out however that this is still a valid point. Blacks don't always equal crime)
You literally wrote the words "consider if" and you still didn't read them? Suggesting something is possible is not the same as stating as fact, as you implied was done.
Should I buy a gun if I fear for my life

Blacks have a very high rate of crime, if she is in a bad area she has a valid concern. No need to call people bigots in that situation.
