[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More often than not, pepper spray gets used on victims themselves. It is not the smart choice.

Making safe choices is going to be more important. You've had lots of good advice on that already.[/quote]

And the well-controlled statistically significant study supporting this assertion is . . .?   We’ll wait. Advice not to go armed lest your weapon be taken against you typically originates with police . . . who go armed everywhere, because they can. Retention training is a necessary part of any self defense plan involving weapons other than perhaps hands and feet. [/quote]

Different poster. When I took self-defense at my college as a gym credit in 1994, our instructor also said if we're comfortable with brass knuckles, pepper spray, stun gun, etc. go for it, but keep in mind that any of those can be used against you, and if they're in your hand then you don't have your hand free.

Stun guns (other than a taser, which strictly speaking is not a stun gun) are a waste of time.

I don’t know anywhere brass knuckles aren’t unlawful, and without training they’re probably pretty much useless too since they only reinforce a punch the person needs to already know how to throw. [/quote]
