Carrying a self-defense product such as a stun gun or pepper spray is a choice that many women make these days.  Kudos to them for taking that initiative!  Several women who I have talked to recently have expressed that they do not want to carry any form of self defense product, simply due to the fact that they feel it could easily be taken away and used against them in a situation.  That is a very valid point of view.  Many self defense experts may argue that it's better to have something than nothing.  That is another valid point of view.  So which is right?  They both are.

The first rule of self defense is "If you are unarmed, become armed."  This means picking up rocks, trash can lids, stray cats if necessary, and using them as weapons to your advantage.  The key to using "anything" as a self defense weapon is your mentality and willingness to fight for your safety and survival, and especially for the safety and survivial of your children if they are with you.  No matter what your weapon may be, it can be used against you if you lose control of the situation.  Being aware and prepared for a situation greatly increases your chances of being successful in defending yourself. Play out scenarios in your mind, and notice how you think you will react.  Visualize the situation in great detail, and above all, visualize a positive outcome.  That quick little visualization is practice for the real thing.  Since your mind moves your body, why not train your mind?  I highly recommend physical training as well, but that may not be feasible.  You can have little "meditations" anywhere, and they are always good practice.

As far as self defense weapons go, carry something that you are comfortable with, and that you know how to use well.  Know how to access it quickly.  Know how to use it effectively.  If you are not carrying any sort of weapon, use what you can.  The bottom line is... survive!
