Forked fingers in the eyes and a swift kick to the balls always works for me.
Except if you’re attacked from the back then neither of these work very well.
Weapon training and a carry permit is the way to go – a whistle or a nice concealed club would be next on my list of favorites.
My problem with this is it gives women confidence that they can fight off a man. In most cases this is just not true and they will get themselves hurt when they could have gotten away. There are some women who can handle it but not all.
My problem with this is that you are an idiot.
That’s why we have the right to bear arms !!
All the nice self defense tactics are nice, but in most cases will do little to help against a much bigger opponent.
Dumbass
is there anything in mason city that the Tierneys don’t have their fingers in??
