If you notice, Kathy also has significant skill in self-defense, both armed and unarmed. Bad things sometimes happen to non-adventurers, she's not too badly traumatized by her past and she's currently leading a normal life.
However, the next time she gets assaulted she may be armed.
Of course, she may still hesitate to use her gun, if she has it with her, until it's too late, but even as a non-adventurer there's still the possibility that she may fight back.
See, that is more of what I was asking - she has had to defend herself before, and is somewhat afraid she might need to do so again. That way the original disad makes some sense for her, which was really the question, however, the new pacifism works equally well, and I could see this as an NPC in my 'super cop' campaign.
