Lots of criminals lurked around the corner in the fearful neighborhood where I lived when I was little, but they never harmed us. Still, it was not good for one not to worry because they could eventually change that mindset.
Eventually I moved out of the place. However, my fright was still there, especially when there was a crowd around, because I felt I could not trust them.
A friend of mine, who came from a similar neighborhood, showed me her collection of non-lethal self defense products one time. She had most of them, from pepper sprays to stun guns, personal alarms and safety lights. My eyes widened at the sight. It seemed like military artillery to me.
Since then, I was encouraged to bring non-lethal self defense products with me every day, too, including a nap alarm for driving and a canine repellent spray. I know pure strength, which I do not have, would not be even if the situation needed it.
I eventually learned to trust some people and one became my husband. When we reminisce of the past, we always laughed about how paranoid I was and how scared he was considering I had a bag of non-lethal self defense products with me always.
Despite not having to encounter these bad guys, thank goodness, I still make sure I carry my Taser C2 and lipstick pepper spray with me around. I even bought a set of non-lethal self defense products for my daughter who will be going to college.
Her weapons like a travel alarm and cell phone stun gun did not become necessary to use, thank goodness, but there was this one time that she just had to get her pepper spray and use it against her date.
Sure, products such as stun guns, pepper sprays, safety lights and personal alarms looked harmless, but they surely help a lot and I knew that from my daughter’s experience.
