MtF Vulnerability & Protection

Use one of these.

 

My friend who was a heavy gunner in the Air Force and a cop recommends this: Kimber® PepperBlaster II Pepper Defense System | Bass Pro Shops

 

It seems like self defense is practically illegal in canada. I think we are allowed to open carry a knife though.

Anyone have any ideas for me? :/

 

Sometimes works ^.^

 

:lol:
If I did that the guy would probably grab me and throw me to the ground.

 

Is pepper spray illegal in Canada, too? If it is, you can just take a small perfume spray bottle and fill it up with hot sause.

Keep it in your pocket, and if someone gets in your personal space, SPRAY 'EM!

 

If you are using it for self defense it is. Your attacker could potentially sue you for spraying them... so I feel like a perfume spray bottle would have the same problem.

You can get bear spray, but you could not use it for self defense against a person.

 

Tasers all round?

 

shocking idea~

Sorry i just had too XD

 

What about self-defense/martial arts classes?

 

I should look into them.

 

pepper spray and handguns are not allowed for self defense purposes in Canada. in theory they are but you will never get a Authorization to Carry for self defense and pepper spray is prohibited though bear spray isn't you will be charged with possession of a prohibited weapon if you use it on a human, even an animal like a rapist.:tantrum:

improvised weapons and weapons of opportunity would be your best bet up here. wish the hell we had something like the second amendment.:bang:

there as a guy in Toronto who did something like this and was charged with "administering a noxious substance" based on the specific circumstances of this case i believe he was acquitted.

 

Be careful what you wish for! The second amendment is a double edged sword (btw we are allowed most swords here lol ) and you'll have idiots open carrying ar15/sks/ak47 at Timmy Hos.

I do wish you had more efficient self defense options in Canada. Are things like retractable batons allowed? The mace not being allowed seems so weird to me. The weapon I posted is a full size combat pistol and other than being harder to conceal, it's fully legal.

 

Actually, you want them to know that you have a weapon. Extreme discouragement tactic.

 

Wear a shirt saying: I have a gun. Don't try anything funny.

 

collapsible batons are prohibited for all except Law enforcement.
i wouldn't care if a guy was carrying a long gun in Tims as long as i have a defense tool as well and if most have them the chances of a moron trying something is greatly diminished. More guns really does equal less crime

 

Being known as armed isn't necessarily a good thing either! An attacker can work to seize the weapon, or attack you first out of a group to neutralize the threat.

I actually carry that on my body. There are holsters like thunderwear that can conceal a full frame pistol on you. I'm 5'10" and I'm losing weight but even at my lightest in my low one forties, I was able to conceal this.

Since you're not a gun girl, I'd look into pepper spray and a retractable baton. LINK
