I never leave the house unarmed. I recommend self-defence classes and weapons training for each and every gal. There's too many weirdos out there and having trained self-defence for quite many years became very useful a few times in the past for me.
Its good to know how. In many of those classes they will also teach us to trust our guts on stuff like that and GTFO before we need to fight. And i think thats equally important. Its really, really hard to defend yourself agains someone bigger and heavier than you. A fight not fought is a fight not lost.
And never forget that a weapon can also be used against oneself, especially if not used often or trained.
Stay safe out there ladies!
That's exactly what my self-defence teacher repeated nonstop: The best self-defence is getting the fuck away from the danger. Unfortunately, that's not always possible, so you need a plan B as well.
And yes, before carrying around weapons, you need to learn how and when to use them.
