Nobody knows what’s gonna happen when you’re attacked. But I guarantee you if you have some form of self defense, you’ll do you much better than having nothing at all. Also, keep in mind, when somebody’s looking for a victim, they are looking for these things. You’ll be less likely to be attacked if you have a gun on you, a knife, even pepper spray that a perpetrator can see. They want victims! They don’t want people will fight back! Also they’re looking for meek people. Someone who is carrying a weapon, or some sort of self-defense, he’s gonna walk taller with more confidence. That is something that I perpetrator will look for as well. Yes prevention through the power of wisdom is important, but you can be the smartest person on the planet, and without someway to protect yourself, you’ll be the first to go down before somebody else.
