Have you ever tried carrying a weapon in yout person for self protection ? Like a stun gun maybe or a mace for ladies ? And for guys,have you ever tried carrying a gun in your person or even a bladed weapon outside of your house? In my case, when I was working in a financial institution, I used to carry a licensed handgun. This was an added protection to ourselves as we sometimes used to transfer cash from one point to another. How about you ? Have you ever carried a weapon for self protection outside of your residence ?

i am a singer and works (of course) at nights so i always bring pepper spray. yes it might not really help a lot but i feel safe when i had it in my bag.

roni, it can help you a lot. Petty criminals would tend to shy away if they see you are ready to face them with something that can hurt. Thanks, roni

but it is still scary. or maybe women differs in men when it comes to incidents like this, or its a case to case basis.

roni, percentage wise, a large percentage will not pull the trigger but will scamper away in the obtaining situation. I think What happened at that bus incident was the criminals got nervous as they might be hemmed in by the bus passengers.

The most I've ever carried was a whistle that I thought maybe would either scare someone away or at least attract attention that I needed some help. I have thought about carrying mace though, so many things seem to be happining, that is kind of scary to go anyplace without some kind of protection.

Sherry, about the mace, I would suggest you have it. whistle can be helpful but having the mace is much better. Thank again Sherry for sharing.

If you still have that spray I would suggest you continue carrying it. Better to have something than nothing. magica, thanks a lot for your response.

Having a knife can serve many purposes but it can also be used by you as a means of self defense. Thank you for responding.
