Actually an AR-15 is the ideal gun for a woman against one or more assailants trying to invade her home.  It can be fired accurately from the hip with minimum practice, can put multiple rounds on target with ease and is loud enough that only the most committed of intruders would continue once it is fired in their direction.  Recoil is almost nothing - sweet weapon.

Also very light weight.

idk about assaul rifle, i think it is an overkill, but a small frame .38sp revolver on them (not in their bag) would definatly make them a lot less likely to be raped\assulted.

I don't need to 'scare' someone with my gun. It's meant for protection, I'll be firing it, that should be scary enough.

if you do, make sure he dies befre he has a chance to get scared. but as statistics show, in vast majority of cases, presence of the gun alone, stops confrontation.

Break into my house and I'll start firing, I'm not gonna wave it around in the hopes that I can cast Fear with it like a Mage.

no objections there, fire away, however if someone follows you, on the street, they're very likely to turn around and run, if they see a gun in your hands pointed at them. you wont have to shoot. if they keep comming, that let them have it.

Hearing the pump action on my shotgun is the fear factor of my home defense.   If that doesn't do the trick, the buckshot will.

And it's not just about the fear of the criminal.   Having an AR-15 in my hand in the event of a home invasion would inspire my confidence too.

You have to identify your target(s) to the extent that you don't just start firing, and wind up shooting someone you know or didn't mean to shoot.   And if they start returning fire with their guns then it'll be scary enough for you and your suddenly woefully inadequate firepower.   The point is, you're not going to be outgunned in a 5-on-1 situation with AR-15.   If you have 30 round magazines and hundreds of rounds of ammo ("What in the world would someone need that for?", the gun-fear liberals ask)  you can protect yourself in any scenario against even PCP or bath-salt goons with suppressing fire alone until the cops arrive.   If that doesn't provide peace of mind for you, then be relieved that Barack Obama and his bureaucrat horde is going to bestow how many bullets thou may safely place in thy magazine.  Because you're a threat to society when it crosses the magic line drawn by the bureau, and it could be a felony that puts you in a cage.   Sorry, but the fear factor is extremely relevant on both ends of the trigger.   A single girl and a pistol?  We've been through worse, some criminals will think.   They can handle you, easier than you think.

I wouldn't go as far as saying its easy to aim from the hip... I really think that would be the worst idea, considering the strength of the round and concerns for overpenetration.

Not even the military fires it from the hip, even when doing room clearing.

strength of the round? Have you ever shot one? Just curious not looking to argue i promise. I own an equivalent aryan style rifle and the recoil is almost non existent. Honestly its a glorified .22 round. More powder yes. And a tiny bit more length to the projectile itself but the way they are set up they are very comfortable to shoot whether it be from the hip or shoulder.

[Yamato]

If the strength of the round was what mattered, we'd be banning every rifle in sight.    Ignorant gun-fear isn't going to win this legal argument.   Liberals, go rant about your heroes Obama, Biden and Clinton mass murdering "suspects" overseas and sustaining this moral hazard of terrorist attack on our country before daring to blab that law-abiding citizens (who happen to be highly-correlated to disagree with you politically) are somehow the problem.

It doesn't take armed security guards, bullet proof doors and windows, background checks, or hundreds of gun laws to make a schools or work areas safe. All that is required is proper education and safety training that will make the household or schools much safer environment that they crave. They will understand that the firearms isn't something to be handling, they will not be toys in the eyes of children all ages but items that can cause serious injuries or even death, which will help reduce accidental deaths that are reported every year in households. As they get older, they will come to respect the firearms and know they are not something to be playing with.

Mainly it is up to the parents to see the overall gun safety training of their children if they are brought up in a environment that has multiple types of firearms. Parents should introduce their children to firearms as soon as they reach a certain age, properly around 5 to 10 years old, so they get a firm understand what a firearm is and what they are used for. When first introduce children to firearm, get them a BB gun which can be used to teach them the fundamentals to gun safety. Never should they let their children use a BB gun unless they are under supervision of one of the parents, thus firmly embedding the ideals of gun safety and understanding at a very early age. As they get older, introduce them to a wide variety of fire arms, thus giving them a much broader understand of firearms.

Instead of shielding children from firearms, they must introduce them at a early age and teach them what is appropriate when it comes to firearms. You could take a child who been around firearms all their life and set a firearm in front of them, they will never touch the gun without a parent permission. Now you take a child who never been around a firearms and set a firearm in front of them, they will automatically pick it up and start playing with it because they don't understand what it is. Until parents and politicians understand this, there will be many sandy hook situations because the children just don't understand.
