Actually Harry, I'd feel very fortunate to use a pisol against a human
assailant.

If a person does not possess the confidence to face an opponent empty
handed, that person needs training. There are many ways to kill or disable
an opponent bare handed. Those who must rely on a weapon just demonstrate
their own inadequacy, although, it DOES make it a hell of a lot easier. And
you don't have to get your hands dirty or your hair messed up.

Karate is great, unless the other guy has a .44 magnum pointed at your
head.

Black pepper. I had a self defense guru tell me one time that for
close in mugging, nothing beats a palm full of black pepper in the
face.

When you think about it, makes perfect sense.

I also like the small personal Tasers. Those look like a fairly
decent issue to use - non-lethal and you can deal out some punishment
without getting too close. :)

Pepper in one hand, taser in the other, .44 magnum in back pocket.
Sounds good to me.
