      Wasn’t she a resident of Australia? They have some pretty strict gun laws, so there’s almost no chance she’d have been able to get one.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_of_Australia

      A person must have a firearm licence to possess or use a firearm. Licence holders must demonstrate a “genuine reason” (which does not include self-defence)

      (emphasis mine)

        She was, it’s a shame she didn’t have access to all the tools she needed to escape that deadly situation. Depending on others is never a good plan.
