I come from a karate background and use to own a studio. I could not really teach the self-preservation drive but hopefully by doing dry-runs (defending attacks) women would start thinking about what worked in class and have a starting point. I like the key commet as most women seem supprised when I mention key usage...

It's a shame that there are folks out there who either refuse to see the wisdom of carrying or have a home defense weapon but not a personal defense weapon. MattG posted this week about LEOs who don't carry off duty. Now, that is insane, IMHO. <BR/>Thanks again for a great post.HollyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644166795449256850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-11744661099771137502007-08-02T14:29:00.000-06:002007-08-02T14:29:00.000-06:00For those who brought up "and carry a gun", I post...For those who brought up "and carry a gun", I post this link to Farmgirl's previous post on that matter.

If you walk like a victim, you're much more likely to become a victim. This is part of why women who have been attacked before are more-likely targets.<BR/><BR/>This is for the women who don't care that much about themselves.

But I was addressing the women, and men, to be honest, who refuse to carry a gun, or are afraid to. Not everyone is comfortable with the idea of having a projectile weapon on their persons, no matter how good an idea we may think it is.FarmGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109427921448753169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-87849355650624641652007-08-02T06:33:00.000-06:002007-08-02T06:33:00.000-06:00What Steven said, and bigger than a .22 if possibl...What Steven said, and bigger than a .22 if possible ladies.
