I carry Pepper spray on my keys, on my stroller and on my person. All out of reach of my children, not that they'd mess with it anyways. The wind blew towards us suddenly one day as I was spraying a dog who had been chasing us for a quarter mile.0

I carried mace when I ran in my boyfriend's neighborhood, at his insistence. (He had been mugged three times during the first year he lived there…) I never had any trouble, but I mostly ran during the early afternoon when the neighborhood was busy with other runners and folks walking and shopping. I usually change my route when I see other people up ahead.
My own neighborhood is super hilly so I usually choose the treadmill and a movie, barefoot and weapon free.0 -
I bring THUNDER<insert right arm> and LIGHTNING<insert left arm>....
If need be, I deploy ROCK<insert right foot> and STEADY<insert left foot> up their *kitten*....
Otherwise, I bank on the fact that I can run farther and faster...
Haha love it!0 -

I've taken Judo for years followed up by Jiu Jitsu and I still carry just because you never know what's around the corner and how many there will be.0 -

I already answered the question on page 2, but have been thinking on this "what if" scenario...
When I lived in Anchorage (for close to 20 years), Alaska, I was on the wrong end of two separate armed robberies and, another time, came home from work one day to find my front door had been pried open and my house burglarized. All terrifying experiences. The burglary was the worse one. There is nothing like being afraid to open your front door when you come home from work. That's when I bought my first handgun and had it ready when I came home. Unlock the door with the left hand with a cocked gun in the right. I learned how to use a handgun and also bought a legal "shortened" shotgun (for home protection). I know exactly what I would do if I were in my own house and someone came in.
When out walking, it would be really hard to know when you must use a deadly weapon. If I see someone following me I could get it in my hand. The part that bothers me is; I would never start waving it around and threatening because someone might try to take it away. When do you shoot? Wait until you have injuries or get shot yourself? If someone grabs you out of the blue, you are pretty much screwed unless you are physically able to fight back. A person could get in big trouble if they make a wrong judgement call in a perceived "situation". I now live in one of the safest towns ever, but having lived in some dangerous places, I don't put myself into uncertain situations unless absolutely necessary. I hope I never get in a situation outside my home, because any hesitation could be a fatal mistake. Act too quickly and who knows....0 -
