ReplyDeleteActually what I want is one of those deadly CLASS III Halon fire extinguishers. The manufacture of which was virtually unregulated before 1984 (or something like that ;-) , but now are banned.
They were extremely effective, yet small enough to conceal in your glove box. Nowadays, I have a larger one located in the trunk of my car. In an emergency, I'd have to pull over and dig for it, but the world is a safer place without the deadly assault halon fire extinguishers.

ReplyDeleteFighting for your safety may be necessary. However, if you start out fighting you cancel any other options that might be open to you. Since many attacks on women are not sexually motivated, and are designed to degrade and humiliate, talking your way out of it may be easier.
I'll be sure to ask my assailant "Excuse me, are you just doing this to degrade or humiliate me, or are you a complete Bundy-like psycho killer?" right before I shoot his ass.
ReplyDeleteActually, Tam; I think you will ask that AFTER you shoot his ass.
