A lucky hit is not a reliable self defense method. I agree she should go for his eyes, maybe pepper spray or something as a means to escape.
Guns: the great equalizer. Hoping to get in a lucky first punch that will disable the average man is ludicrous.
I agree! Especially if the male is aggressive and wants to hurt her. I just wanted to see if anyone can provide a realistic alternative to a firearm for self defense for a tiny woman.
Honestly, a trained well placed strike will do more for creating distance than pepper spray. A truly determined attacked will just get pissed off from pepper spray, and now the victim is cross contaminated because the attacker has closed the distance. There are tons of videos on YouTube of people fighting really well after being sprayed.
A taser might be a better option, but good ol lead is gonna be best.
Tasers i hear can be unreliable and both prongs need to connect to work.
A gun really is the only equalizer for women in my opinion. We have to get that demographic more pro gun rights.
Guns need to connect to work as well. Don't ask a question if you already know the answer.
A taser that shoots will incapacitate a single male reliably.
