A family member of mine, a very petite woman, faced some threats against her life while working in a pretty bad area. Time to hit Twitter and GoFundMe? No, time to call the cops, file a report, then go get that CC permit and hit the shooting range. No one wants to fuck with a girl with a .38 snubnose in her purse. Ex girlfriend was, again, a petite woman. Got followed home once while in Paris, guy grabbed her. PTSD time? No, time to make a great story for parties about that time her and two other girls pepper sprayed them beat the crap out of some asshole. Now she carries pepper spray, wasp spray, and a mother fucking machete in her car at all times.
