from muggers, rapist, carjackers, ect? I have heard people carrying peeper spray but what if you could not get it to work? Do any of you take safety classes? I'm going check into this soon. I don't get out much but I think it is important to protect yourself. You never know who is watching around the corner just waiting for a victim.

Having lived with a Dad who occassionally physically abused me (pushed me over furniture & stuff) & a brother who would occassionally kick or hit out, I soon learned how to take care of myself. I'm not making excuses for my family or myself. I only ever use anything like that in self defence, but I wouldn't like to attack me on a dark night from front, behind or the side! I'm not a violent person, bit I now know how to take care of myself.
It may have been a bit of a laugh on Miss. Congeniality, but the SING thing that she used is sooooo right!
If a guy springs an attack on you, go for the private area, he won't be running after you!!!

I am legally blind, so I carry a white cane. I am also physically challenged, so that cane is for support as well, making it even sturdier. I have had to use it to defend myself a few times. Believe me, I was glad to have it.

You are right and you really never know at all. I will have to check into that too.
