    I prefer the .45 because having to shoot a bad guy more than once is just silly. LOL.

    girls, i like that ancient oriental technique known as ka ching. i like the ones that come in what is known as .380 acp, but 9mm, .45, and others will ward off evil as well. :D

    True I have had self defense classes and recommend this for those that have not, Even a pencil, pocketbook or keys can be a lethal weapon. Know the weak zones of the human body The best defense is avoidance and the mind made up to absolutely not intend to be a victim under any circumstance what so ever. Never .IMO

    Pepper spray is also a good thing to keep on your belt, like when going to grocery store, For one I would think nothing of spraying a perp in the face, getting in my car and moseying on home but if I have to resort to the firearm then that may interrupt my schedule, so that would be a last resort, mostly because of that..

    That’s my thoughts on the matter..

    That’s what I was thinking Citizen. Yes, hand to hand techniques are very important, but for realistic self defense, the effective and safe use of a hand gun is of vital importance. It is a true equalizer.
    If I had evil on my mind, I would take my chances attacking a woman hand to hand since I’ve studied martial arts myself and am physically larger and stronger than most women, but if she whips out even a .380 or .22…it’s not worth the risk. She doesn’t even necessarily have to fire it; the chance of “lead poisoning” alone would make me back off quickly.

    Concealed Carry is always a comfort when out and about in the area also.
