Hi mrinali,
I haven’t any pistol or any kinds of arms with me and fortunately I haven’t crossed any such situation. Yes I agree with you now the world is facing difficulties and bad things happened in different places of the world. So it is good to take some precautions with us. I appreciate your courage because we need the same to go out alone by knowing the place is bad. I think you like the adventures.
Anyway, take care dear while going out alone.
Have a great time.

no i didnt. besides theres no need. for a girl like me i dont think its appropriate for me to bring any unless im a police women or a secret agent. if someone rob you then give them what they want than to fight with them and risk our life. your life is more important than money. or if someone trying to rob you then try to make an excuse. like tell tehm that someone just rob you along the way and theres nothing left or etc and etc than fighting with them. to avoid this incedent. better avoid using phone outside specially those very expensive phone that will only attract those robbers. dont bring a lot of money with you but a debit card instead.

hi mrinali we are not allowed to carry a pistol with us in our cars or on buses and other lines of transportation. the US is a pretty safe place to live and we wouldnt need to defend ourselves at any event.Robberies and murders dont happen that often and if we could carry a weapon often times we would get hurt by the bad guys with our own weapon.

I don't carry a weapon around, it's illegal in my country. So it's normal to arm myself the other way around. I found spray perfume is useful. It can make you smell nice and it can be spray on your attacker's face. It's important not to walk alone in secluded area. Regardless how strong you are, you can win against a bunch of attackers. And if I went shopping alone, I'll hurriedly get inside my car and locked it before doing anything.

I asked my husband to get his answer because I don’t drive when we have outdoor activity. At the begging he was confused with my question then he realised why you want to do like that, his answer is no. he never does things like that.
As he told me he also never has any problem when he drives. I think mainly because he’s very experienced driver and he knows his road and his car.
If you think it’s necessary to you better to take them with you. Safety is almost number one when you are on road. Best regards.

Hi Mrinali, In our country, no any arm is licensed in our district. As I do not drive by myself, more often i take bus or train for journey, I feel it's quite safe. There may some robbery happend in the way, anyway, I would rather to give up my money instead of my life. I don't think a arm can help me success in the fight. Take care and good luck to you.
