In all honesty, mace is one of the most overrated things there are.
It's better to have a sharp thing on your keys than a mace that you have to open, probably never used and have to aim specifically for the eyes without hitting yourself. A simple pen rammed into someones flesh (thigh for example) is way more efficient than mace can ever be.
Also, you have to occasionally check if your mace still sprays. About half the women in my self defense class discovered that their bottles were empty b/c they had passed the expiration date.
@Nate1941 yeah my mace still sprays, I've tested it recently.
@FakeName123 I only have it out when i run and its held in my fist as if I'm ready to spray haha so id def be able to get it out i time. I've never really been attacked though so i dont know how effective it would be. If i were to run with a knife- i might end up stabbing myself lol so thats not the best idea for my situation
Most countries don't allow you having a knife with you to begin with.
I can just tell you from a families friend of mine who worked in personal security with whom I talked a bit about and he said a pen or something similar shaped is the best "daily-life" weapon there is. With enough force doesn't matter if it's sharp or not.
The moves on the first vid is sort of useless.. Those strikes aren't going to do much unless you practice those strikes regularly... Which I doubt most will.
Didn't you hear about the woman who got murdered recently? she was too busy on her phone she didn't realize the guy got her gun and was able to kidnap her only for her last phone call to her husband being I love you before she died.
@NatashaJ it's because she was distracted. Only a fool would get that distracted. Nobody could ever get their hands on my gun without prying from my cold, dead hands.
I've been carrying my own car keys in attack mode for years when forced to walk alone, but when I saw that, I was like yes, because it ensures if your fingers are in, you can't drop it or have it thrown out in a scuffle. I looked on Amazon, but I only saw the puppy version which is cool because I like dogs better than cats anyway.
How pray tell is this paranoia? Ever been on a plane and got the safety run down of what to do if it goes down. How often do planes go down? You prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. It only takes one time. One time happening to you or someone you love, so why not have this information and prepare. And yes, some of the stuff on this list has happened to me and my friends... so that's not paranoia in trying to use what happened to us to help other women and girls like you aim to prepare with the knowledge, and hope to never have to use it.
Do you do a safety run down whenever you get in the car? No. The reason they do a safety run down in planes is so that a few people who have no clue what to do don't kill 300+ plus people.
The police comment is based on the several incidents around the country that happen yearly of people dealing with fake cops. Typically individuals will buy uniforms online and fake badges and fake guns or even pack real ones. They purchase ex cop cars from auctions to make their cars look real. They pull you over and claim falsely that you have committed a crime and put you in their car, and then take liberties with you, often rape. Fake cops have been known to enter people's homes unlawfully with fake stories and rob people, harass people, and extort money for false claims.
These are real crimes that happen unfortunately, and learning about them will serve to make you more aware. I will list some links, but if you don't like my sources, I encourage you to go to the web and look up cases where you live and find out what the real police are doing to try and protect citizens like you from such crimes.
why everyone dislike and hate this comment? i dont understand... i mean sure maybe it does look slightly like ur tryna get girls to like u by saying this, but maybe u dont care who likes the comment and jus saying what ur realy think... wtf

I carry mace on my keys 😊

Great! Stay safe!
Why are women easy targets? Because they are weaker? ! What about the old and the sick? The disabled? ! Why not count them as well? !
This is probably why my friends were freaked out when I told them that I went to Myrtle Beach by myself
This all seems like paranoia. Get a CC permit and problem solved...
Good stuff definitely can't be too safe
Jeez, I should create a MyTake for men to protect themselves from paranoid women. This is really over the top!
I've heard enough horror stories before.
If I were a woman I would have a firearm on me at all times.
The moves on the first vid is sort of useless.. Those strikes aren't going to do much unless you practice those strikes regularly... Which I doubt most will.
This is why I own and carry guns. I hope I'll never need them, but I want to have them if I do.
Didn't you hear about the woman who got murdered recently? she was too busy on her phone she didn't realize the guy got her gun and was able to kidnap her only for her last phone call to her husband being I love you before she died.
The point is anything can happen even with a gun.
@NatashaJ it's because she was distracted. Only a fool would get that distracted. Nobody could ever get their hands on my gun without prying from my cold, dead hands.
How did they steal it from her shoulder holster without her noticing? She must have been quite distracted.
@ClassicRocker I agree.
She was on the phone, it's sad really. The last person she talk to was her husband to tell him she loved him and she was dead after that.
@NatashaJ I still don't get it. Even if I'm on the phone, there's no way someone could get their hands on my gun.
Well it happen to her so?
@Dred1614returns
She probably just had it in her purse.
@ClassicRocker amateur mistake.
damn u
i was going to rape/kill 5-20 women
now all of them know how to defend themselves
they deserve to get raped and killed, good on u bro,
i dunno why people would dislike this
The same way us guys need to protect our resources from whores.
I WANT THE KITTY <3

Good advice.
Men need to learn how to defend themselves against women also.
I never go out alone I always go out with someone who can protect me and is stronger.
Most of that was paranoia, thanks though

The entire police comment was ridiculous

Ok then. Still, people die from normal, everyday things and we never have a PSA about toasters

What were you saying...
Step One: Buy a gun.
No step 2.
Step 2: learn proper use and maintenance.
I could never hurt a girl, i'm too sweet and shy
Keep on telling people that, especially women. It will get you laid one day. Maybe.
@AdamThomas
@AdamThomas or maybe they are into dominant aggressive macho types

Violence Everywhere...
This site depresses me.
But violence is fun, i wish i was a soldier in WW2
@sweetshyguy
You're too sweet and shy to be a WW2 soldier.
Because paranoia is so attractive.
