"Some of these women locate their strength and empowerment in their firearm," Stroud said. "When they are unarmed, this has the consequence of increasing their feelings of vulnerability. It is as though their sense of empowerment resides in their gun, not in themselves, limiting the extent to which CHL use ultimately empowers those women who use this form of self-defense."
It sounds like Stroud is implying that because women have a CHL, they are more frightened as a result, rather than being more aware of the danger and not having the tools to do anything about it when they aren't carrying. If a woman gets a CHL, she is fearful enough - she's trying to do something about it.
