Personal Safety...pepper sprays!

After the recent terror attacks in London I have thought that if everyone had a personal pepper spray or similar at least they would have had something to defend themselves against those trying to stab them.

This morning, lo and behold, Senator Leyonhjelm (with whom I generally disagree) has come out this morning saying the same thing but also including tasers...

What do others think; should we be able to arm ourselves with something (other than guns) to at least have some chance against those wishing us harm?

I think we should;  what chance would older people have if confronted ... none at all.

Do what ever it takes best be judged by 12 than be carried by 6, no one will convict you for saving your life or of your loved ones 

Exactly right.  You have a right to protect yourself and those around you.

As far as I know, illegal in Australia, as are tasers for personal use.

Other problem is, the attacker may take your weapon, and use it against you. Imagine a frail person struggling with a younger fitter person, it could end badly.

 

I would suggest that until it actually happens we do not know how we would react...the fight for survival woudl kick it for most of us I would imagine.

Saw self defence guy say that women if they are in bed and someone breaks in it is best to lie back and use your legs and give them a kick where it will hurt most.   There are classes for seniors springing up now.
