what do you have in your bag to protect yourself from bad people..?

Oh I never thought of that. I feel confident wandering around the city without a weapon. But, it's somehow good to carry one for us to be prepared from any malicious motives. In case I didn't bring any and I'm being attacked, I think my body parts will be my defenses.LOL. The very first thing that I will do is to crush his balls so hard that he couldn't help but cry in pain. Girl Power! Bang!!!

i don't usually bring kinds of that stuffs.but i can always use ballpen if i have one in my bag,or my umbrella i guess it's really a hard thing when you got hit by that it will hurt you a lot!or like what gamba said,body defenses can be used.you can always bite someone in case and hit his balls really hard!wahahaha!

pepper spray is useful too but it could create some accidental false alarm by unintentionally spraying a "good person" particularly onto the eyes, 'coz I've encountered it with my friend's pepper spray in which I though at first is a cologne or body spray. While we were talking inside a small room, I was picking out some things from her bag and saw a cologne/body spray and press it, I was surprised that it turned out to be a pepper spray and so my friend grabbed it from my hand, fortunately the spray hole wasn't positioned towards my face, but since we were in a very small airconditioned room, the pepper particles went with the air and onto our eyes, it was very very painful and it took a few hours after the sore was completely gone, that was a very funny moment.. me, I've nothing in my bag that could be a weapon for self-defense.. my dad once gave me a small pocket knife but my mom won't allow me to carry it, 'coz I might get detained if ever I'll undergo some security check..

Unfortunately, I have none in my bag except for a rosary and a make-up kit!I would not bring any harmful materials like a sharp object or a knife because these are prohibited when going out to mall or any places. I never dreamed to be arrested anyway. I am taking extra precautionary measures like I stopped from going out to the places I am not familiar or staying up late. Before 8:00 in the evening I am already in my room resting and reading books.

hi acie friend! nope i'm not carrying anything on my bag! hehe as you know my bag is very small. haha anyway, i am not thinking about it really, but i guess i can run fast ! hahajust kidding! maybe friend its time for you to take lesson in karate or kung fu or whatever for self defense. hehe

Yes I do have pepper spray in my bag. I am just worried though because I think it's way beyond its expiry date so I am not sure if it still works. A few months ago, my baby cousin somehow found it and played with it and sprayed it to our dog. What I saw was our dog shaking its head and sneezing!

Hi Acie, Honestly, i only have rosary in my purse to keep me safe. prayer is my weapon for any bad incidents or people. thanks god, i never experience any untoward incident as i commute everyday. i know i am guided and guarded.

I don't have one. Prayer is only my protection before I gone home, begging God to shade me and keep away from bad. I wandering almost around the archipelago and I thank God I'm safe.

My daughter bring a cutter with her all the time. But I think it's better to bring a spray- chili or pepper spray; even perfume will do. But the best thing would be to learn karate or self-defense.

having something on your bag to protect yourself was a good idea but sometimes it will also a be the cause of accident or maybe it will be use to you instead i think one of the best way to have to protect yourself was to be knowledgeable about self defense

I used to have a cheap "swiss" knife (it's an imitation one) in my bag or pocket, but I seem to have lost it. a pepper spray would be nice but you should be careful when buying it. It shouldn't have butane in it's "ingredients" because it is flammable (duh!). How about you acie_21? what do you have in your bag?

In my jacket I always carry a spray.I encounter with very aggressive dogs.I had to be prepared .

I used to put a small knife in my bag... But I realized it was dangerous and a little bit of a hassle...;) So, I just carry scissors and spray...;) But I could defend myself since I am into Taekwondo.:)
