Even with a stun gun, unless you know how to properly use it (you need to be trained [ergo confident in and used to using it] to use anything in a high-pressure situation), you'd be screwed.

Just tell her to do the common-sense things - travel in groups, only in well-populated, well lit areas, don't travel too late, avoid the bad places in the area, etc.

i already said above she doesnt do anything "dangerous," which is why i said it was a waste of money...

Who cares what we think? She wants it, she can go ahead and get it 🙂

get her a kubaton. it's more effective than pepper spray, and has more than 1 use!

Only if you're trained in it . . ..

Wow! Cool! can you hire one for me too? Anyhow, bottom line - if she wants anything to protect herself, she'd better damn be well trained in it, whether it be Kubotons, Guns, or even bare fists. Only way of getting a sense of (false?) security.

My girlfriend just told me she wants pepper spray to protect herself. She lives in one of the least violent states in the union (Hawaii). I told her its a waste of money. She neither goes clubbing, or big parties to get herself into the kind of trouble that mace/pepper spray warrants. What do you guys think?

Better safe than sorry. If my girlfriend said she wanted some my ass would be at the store buying it for her.
