In reply to Jim. You father in law did the right thing if the much larger bully attacked him. If that’s what happened he was also the victim of an incompetent attorney and/or a stupid jury.

Hey Kat, while I was ready the comments I was thinking the same thing….I’m not an ex marine just a retired cubicle worker. I have bad arthritis and am pretty chicken. I did come up with one solution that actually scared off a potential purse snatcher. I bought a large metal key ring (3″ diameter) and loaded it with every key I’ve ever owned, several 4″ lengths of bicycle chain, etc. It makes a weapon that can be held by a small hand and crucially you are unlikely to drop it. Because you can swing it around at the length of your arm it can pick up velocity even on a weaker arm. Also one of the places you’re vulnerable is when you are at a door with your back to the world. I would love to hear feedback from the more seasoned self-defenders.

In reply to Mike. Someone should teach these criminals about personal responsibility. But it seems like personal responsibility is a thing of the past.

You mention that being aware of what’s in your area and paying attention to your surroundings are good ways to keep yourself safe. I agree that putting yourself in a situation where you could possibly be attacked isn’t a good idea. How is one able to figure out the difference between an actual dangerous situation, and just paranoia?

excellent ideas/suggestions. need answers here…know theres lots of us out there who need this answered: how do you try to protect yourself when you are “handicapped, or have no strength to speak of, cant run, barely lift leg to kick, and so on”, always thugs who go after seniors, or helpless folks, so they need to be able to help themselves if possible. I know thats a concern of mine…barely walk, cant run, have lost strength, etc. (working to build up, but time consuming). thanks for suggestions for us

>The best way to defend yourself from an attack is not to put yourself in a situation where you are likely to be attacked.

In reply to Bill. wow. I'm 17- never been in a fight, and I go by that aswell. People fight over stupid things like steppin on shoes or over food or even relationships, but it's only worth fighting for your life and your loved ones.

In reply to The Real Slim Shady. #3 You mean "Instinct" not intent. Intent means determined or earnest and eager attention.
