Women's Self-Defense Q&A Examples mentioned included pepper spray (gel-based and pepper balls), brass cat knuckles on a keychain, keys carried as a puncture weapon, a grasped dowel rod longer than a clinched fist, a taser, walking in groups, etc. Some law enforcement agencies offer self-defense classes for women. Google online for options. Whatever objects or plans you choose, you must train. Plans can evaporate under stress. Practice. Have pepper spray or taser trained on you. Are you able to fight through it?
