In that case, there are still solutions other than a firearm. Like Neb said, a stungun or pepper spray work just as well at repelling attackers and they won't kill a person.

That's like saying food isn't the answer to hunger. Violence isn't the answer to a non-violent problem. There are precious few others to a violent one. Most criminals make sure you CAN'T run from them. How are they going to rob or rape someone if they leave them free to run? Stun guns might scare off bullies. Pepper spray is a good alternative, as long as the attacker isn't armed. Other than that, you have the choice of defending yourself in kind or getting rolled over. It's that simple.
