A lot of murders recently.pepper spray or ?
what can i have to protect myself as i sometimes need to walk alone where they have happened
Answer:
Pepper spray isn't that effective, because the perpetrator can so easily get it and use it on you. When walking alone. Keep your eyes open. Take in the people around you. If a person passes you on the street, turn around and make sure you know where they've gone. When exiting stores, your car keys are your best friends. Stabbing in the face and neck is the most effective when being attacked. Remember, a perpetrator chooses an occupied victim. Don't be talking on the phone, or reading while you walk. Carry your purse over your shoulder, with one hand on the strap. Look everyone in the eyes, showing them that you're confident and not weak.
Keep a gun in your house if it's legal there. You could also carry a pocket knife with you-I think that would be fine.
A knife, and garlic.
Carry a loud megaphone and oven spray does the same as pepper spray but legal, don't walk alone either.
purchase a small stunner. they are battery operated and you can carry them in your hand. if someone comes upon you, turn it on and hit their body anywhere with it, it will shock them and send them to the ground long enough for you to run away. good luck, be safe.
move t the isle of man, its well safe, nothin bad hardly ever happens, u could go out and leave your front door open all day and it would be fine
Stay indoors and do housework. Actually, young guys are the main victims of violence. I don't know how old you are, but your choices are limited. Rotweiler? Stop reading the damned papers.
The problem is that anything you carry can potentially be used against you. Best bet is to take a self defense class to learn to protect yourself and try not to travel alone, especially after dark and always be aware of your surroundings and walk with confidence and sense of purpose. Cross the street or avoid anybody you don't like the look of - don't worry about offending people. Always walk in shoes that are easy to move and run in. Give an attacker your purse or anything they want and fight and scream like crazy to avoid being pushed into a vehicle - never get in a vehicle if you can help it - even if they have weapon - your odds of survival are better even if you get hurt fighting back. Attackers don't like victims that fight back and won't pick ones that look like they'll put up a fight. Attitude really does matter.
spray oven cleaner in the eyes is good...just watch you spray it in the right direction. Amonia in a water pistol is also very effective..same advise applies.
The best defense you have is to let someone know where you are going to be and around what time you should be getting home. Safety in numbers has always been good. However, nothing is full proof in preventing you from being a victim. Martial art classes and self defense courses are a good idea. Once again though I must point out, unless you practice these skills as a real life situation and repeatedly they are useless and a waste of your time. Most martial arts classes and defense courses do not offer people to actually "attack" you. Thus you will never know if the moves will work in real attack situations. As for weapons, whatever weapon you choose you have to be able to get to it quickly, and as pointed out in a previous answer your perp also has access to a weapon if they didn't have one before. Also you should be trained in how to use the weapon.
