Mikaela Dieppa, a South Carolina jogger, sparked debate by openly carrying a firearm while exercising. In a popular TikTok, she showcased her attire including a gun holster, responding to critics who suggested she should conceal her weapon. Dieppa explained that her choice is rooted in self-protection, especially for women often targeted in public. Advocating for women's right to defend themselves, she reflects on the stark reality of assaults against females and encourages others to consider similar safety measures, highlighting that she's more concerned about being prepared than fearful.
"For all the people who say I should be concealed carrying when I am on my run, you're probably not a female who has men slow down and stop to watch them running."
"It's not that I'm scared or paranoid, it's a fact that women get assaulted in broad daylight all the time, even when taking precautions."
