I'm going to leave out the details to keep this short.
I was assaulted April 6th by a coworker on a dirt road where I was completely lost and beaten so severely that many bones in my face were broken and I require surgery, while her husband filmed the assault. I was repeatedly knocked unconscious and they left me laying in my own blood. The doctors thought my eyeball was going to fall back into my head and I'd lose my eyesight because the bone that cradles it shattered and fell apart, my right cheekbone is completely gone, and basically the entire right side of my face beneath my eye is shattered.
Now, other people involved in this situation are still harassing me and telling me that as soon as my child is born (yes, I was pregnant when she assaulted me and cannot have my surgery until after the birth of my child) they will beat me as well. Because I have not had my surgery yet, and probably even after I've had my surgery, if I am hit in the face, I have no doubt that I will die because there is no bone structure to protect my brain and the other tissues and with very little force my face will finish caving in.
I am moving to another location to go to school so I will be able to provide better for my child and I will try to keep these people from finding out where I will be living. I do not want to move to another state or country because my whole life is here and I don't want these immature, violent women to feel like they can make me give my life up and go on the run, but I want to be able to raise my baby, not be beat up in a hospital or dead. I am going to take self defense classes as soon as the baby is born because I never want to feel unsafe again and plan on encouraging my child to be able to defend him/herself.
With that being said, my question is that when I turn 21 this year I plan on getting my gun license and if one of these women attacks me, I will shoot without hesitation but I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison when I could be raising my child. YES I feel like if I'm attacked in the slightest my life will be in danger! If I'm hit in the face, my life is over. If one or more of them jumps me and I shoot first and ask questions later, will it be considered self defense in my situation?
