Clearly adding a self defense weapon "defender" would be a good thing. However the following article is worth the read. Womens self defense is important and close to my heart so please read this and pass it on!
What to Do When You Have to Walk Down That Dark Lonely Street: "As women we are taught from a young age not to walk alone in the dark or cross through poorly lit parks. We fully agree, however sometimes find ourselves exactly in that situation. Having lived in many large cities over the years, I have had my share of experiences with those situations."

Attempted kidnapping reported in West Covina
Excellent! Finally a simple fight back that changed the whole thing going down... way to go! You see, you don't have to be a crazy person about your self defense... just a few simple moves, rinse and repeat! In this case only one kick did the trick. I wish she had a self defense weapon!!!
Attempted kidnapping reported in West Covina: "
WEST COVINA - A teenage girl escaped a would-be kidnapper Wednesday after kicking him in the groin, police said.
The incident occurred about 4:45 p.m. as the 16-year-old girl was walking home from school on Cortez Street near Prospero Drive when she was approached by a dark blue, late-model Toyota Camry, West Covina police Officer Eddie Flores said in a written statement.
A man inside the car asked the victim if she needed a ride, the officer said. When she replied that she didn't, the man walked up to her, grabbed her by the arm and began pulling her toward his car.
The victim tried to push the man away and he slapped her in the face, Flores said. The girl then kicked the man in the groin and ran away.
The failed kidnapper got back into his car and drove west on Cortez Street, he added.
The suspect is described as a Latino man between 30 and 35, about 5 feet 11 inches tall and of medium build, police said. He had brown eyes and brown, wavy hair and thick eyebrows. He wore a black, zippered hooded sweat shirt and baggy blue pants.
Anyone with information is asked to call West Covina police at 626-939-8557, or the anonymous tip line at 626-939-8688. Tips can also be sent via text message to 847411.

Might she still be with us if...?? San Diego teenager Chelsea King, might still be with us if she had carried some from of self defense. At least she might have had a fighting chance! I used to live in Poway where she is from, and walked around lake hodges many times. There seems to more teens missing from the area as well! It drives me crazy to think that maybe a simple tool like the self defense weapon might have been carried along on her run and she might have had a fighting chance; things might be different then they now appear. My heart goes out to the victim and the family. This crime was a discussion point throughout my day and I wanted to remind us all that you self defense needs should be thought about BEFORE you need them!
I went for a short hike this weekend and saw others walking this very deserted trail, all alone, and out in no where. What if they were attacked? A few had walking sticks but do they really know how to use them for their own self defense? On my martial arts website I have DVDs available for a walking stick and how to defend yourself: hanbo is what the Japanese call a walking stick... Also, if you are running or walking in remote area's you should have something to help defend yourself... for example a self defense weapon, a knife, or pepper spray. Don't go out where you might get attacked without some preparation. I know its hard to think about it but look at this poor family and what they have to deal with now?
Here in California weapons are frowned down upon. You just are not supposed to carry one but rather rely on the police for your protection. Lets face it, they can't be everywhere we go and most likely not in these remote places. Not to say attacks don't hit you in a civilized location, i.e., a parking lot or even at the mall. So, what I'm saying is take your safety first and foremost NOW and look at what your options are; do something to protect yourself, your loved ones and your family! Finally, if nothing else get a Defender 2, learn to use it and carry it with you when you go out to these remote area's to exercise or site see! Don't be the next victim!!!
