Most people (men and women) panic in these types of situations and would fail to employ any of these devices in an immediate instance. Constant practice is necessary for any of these methods to become an immediate reaction with muscle memory. The best defense is situational awareness, and just plain simple prevention. Most attacks/muggings happen to unaware victims, and possessing all of these tools only will work if you're aware of your surroundings and have a clue on what is happening before the perpetrator gains control over you. Anyway, practice makes perfect for whatever defensive weapon you use.

Are you saying that shineing a flashlight on the person will not subdue him?

[@johnflynn6121]

I have 25 year training in the martial arts and 50 years' experience with handguns. This video is dangerous to women because carrying these five things would give them a false sense of security and nothing more. To paraphrase Col. Jeff Cooper, "Carrying a weapon does not make you armed anymore than owning a guitar makes you a musician." To start off, the whistle and the alarm are useless. In the time it takes to use them, you could access a real weapon. By the time police could react to the noise, the bad guy could have done whatever he wanted to do. I carry pepper spray, but I know it's only good for aggressive dogs and drunks, where you have at least a little time to deploy it and you don't really want hurt your target. I carry it in the hopes it will keep me from having to kill someone. Also, it takes more training and practice to use well than you would think. Kubotans also take a lot of training to use well. I carry a high-intensity flashlight that can also be used as a kubotan. It's useful, but it's only an aid to self defense, not something to depend on. I am 65 years old, but if I wanted to attack Gabrielle Rubin armed with her martial arts and five pseudo-weapons, I would knock her out before she could use any of that. Guns are the great equalizer, but they take training to use also and are not legal in some places. Better non-lethal weapons are: Canes, "hardened" umbrellas, collapsible batons, Tasers, knives, sap gloves. Whatever you carry, train with it. Don't just watch videos about it.

[@lecobra418]

Tasers are proven to be bullshit, only cops stun guns are "effective" and yet sometimes it needs up to 4-5 shots to get a dude down, especially if he is heavy or on roids.

[@nixonpowen]

[@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006]

What if you can combine all that and get a tasered umbrella to use as a cane with a detachable knife/barbed tip? 😄 You can use that as a shield while prepping your spray with the high intensity flashlight. The alarm could be upgraded to call the police and send out the location at the press of a button in really dire scenarios at home.

[@ManiacMayhem7256]

I doubt your experience For one pepper spray is incredibly effective for more than just drunks and dogs. In fact pepper spray is probably less effective on drunks so idk what you're going on about. It causes involuntary shutting of the eyes which let's you have more than enough time to get away. Watch active self protection. Another issue is that your self defense recommendations are either only for lethal situations or are harder to use than OC spray or have only a 50 percent chance of working (taser). Tasers are one shot only before reload and can easily malfunction

A robber robbing a store wants compliance but if he's robbing after the store is closed and if he is robbing is a woman then he might get tempted to rape her as well. Fake compliance is a better strategy, act afraid, drop your bag on the ground at his feet, while the robber go down to take your bag and is distracted empty your .45 into his body, control his gun and call the police.

Regarding 0:11 when using pepper spray, be mindful that there is not a strong wind that could deflect the spray or blow it back onto your face. Also if it is raining, then this could dilute the potency of pepper spray. Regarding 0:40, if you do not carry a Kutoban, then a pen can be improvised as a pocket size thrusting weapon although not as mightily as a sword. Regarding 1:19, that key chain fob alarm sounds like a tweeting bird. Regarding 1:31, that little whistle looks like a hotel doorman's whistle used for hailing a taxi cab. Instead get a Fox 40 Sonik Blast Whistle which has a loudness rating of 120 decibels.

Piggy-backing on what @global Adventurer is saying: For everyone saying "oh, just carry a gun." Or "I'll just shoot the person." Understand, if you're not a qualified professional that works with that firearm on the daily, it may just place more technical issues in the mix. As someone who does carry everyday in the federal sector, the liability involved is unimaginable. Even if you manage to utilize the firearm safely and neutralize the threat by discharging a round, you now, must articulate to law enforcement your reason for doing so, and that's if he doesn't die. If he does, you're on whole new level of shit. Using non lethal measures (ie: OC, Baton, High Powered light, alarm) has it's place, I'm not looking to take a life, I'm sure most gun owners aren't either. If the threat has a firearm and engaged in using deadly force, then have at it and empty the mag. However, if the subject doesn't, less lethals can be utilized.

[@rougestarlight4308]

And not every country has a "you can get a gun, you can get a gun, everybody can get a gun" law

Her methods of self defense are countered easily. What if the attacker wears an ordinary attire (for lawbreakers) such as hoodie and sunglasses?What if he wears heavy winter clothing?What if he brandishes a range weapon such as a baseball bat or a hammer or a machete or simply a 2 x 4?

[@spaceprince02]

Imma be honest since when I get in a situation where I need to escape, I usually have pepper spray, keys, and a small knife. Whichever I’m able to grab first is gonna be the one I use. With the keys you wanna put them between your fingers so wolverine style so you can jab at them. It’s not that slow to do so if you practice grabbing them quickly

[@lecobra418]

I assume you're a woman, my advice as a male, don't get in a fight with a male if you can avoid it because real life ain't movies. Brandishing a knife will get you stabbed because it is almost sure you will have to guts to actually use it and you will lose it, keys are useless. Just stick to the pepper spray, spray him and run fast and try to yell or reach a crowded place.

This is good.. but it is also good to know that kubatons are considered prohibited weapons in certain states. For example, a kubaton is considered an impact weapon in Oklahoma, which is prohibited under state law - meaning you can be arrested for possession of a kubaton in Oklahoma.

[@jacobmaruth3598]

There sure are a lot of people saying you should just have a gun. Here are some facts: 1) If everyone has a gun, nobody is safer. 2) If we're assuming that the woman can have a gun, then the man attacking her would also have a gun and would start the whole thing by holding her at gunpoint. 3) Even if the woman had a gun and the attacker didn't, she should still probably have pepper spray or an alarm. There's no reason not to carry those just in case. 4) The average person will have zero chances to use a gun in self defense, but hundreds of chances to get angry or scared and ruin their life in a split second. A gun is far more likely to land you in prison than it is to save you.

And any item in public, even if legal, but intended for self-defence is illegal e.g. that kubotan, keys where you intend them to be used to defend yourself, etc

[@DepDawg]

Same in NYC. We have to be creative and take the chance of arrest vs being assaulted. Even a 1 cm knife blade is illegal if it locks into place! Slingshots can carry a sentence of up to 7 years in prison. When biking, each of us carries a large spanner. Perfectly acceptable tool for cyclists, Officer. When they study late, our oldest son and daughter carry 51 cm baseball bats in their book bags. And they have a rubber ball tossed in there in case they are questioned. Perfectly acceptable sporting equipment, Officer. My wife keeps a “tire thumper” (it even has that printed on it) in the front of the car. Perfectly acceptable tool to test tire pressure, Officer. If we go out running or for a walk, we do so with a half a brick in our hand or pocket. I broke some up with a hammer. If we are questioned after an incident, we’d say we picked it up by the curb to protect ourselves during the attack, Officer. Would these stop a bullet or knife? No. All we hope for is the opportunity to stun or hurt an attacker long enough to run. Our children all study Brazilian Jujitsu and MMA, and my wife and I have kickboxed for close to 20 years. We are strong and make sure to be alert of our surroundings. We’ve taught our kids to not use headphones in public, keep their phones in their pockets, look around as they walk, notice people, look at parked cars, is anyone sitting in them, turn their heads left and right, look behind if they feel uncomfortable, be prepared to strike, defend, run, and show potential attackers that they will not be caught unawares. It’s all we can do 😔

[@phyrexianghxst493]

Tips use a higher lumen flashlight such as those cheap ones reccomended by budget friendly preppers the ultra fire cree q5 led bursts 200 lumens with strobe which is abundant enough to impare someone's sight for a certain time as for the kubotan if its illegal in your country use a parker ALL METAL Jotter or what i use a retractable ALL METAL vector also from parker another tip for kubotans are select the right type such Is the flat one (looks like a key fob to the untrained eye)(used in the video) or blunt ones(pointed but blunt) which looks like a pen from like a few feet away the the pointed one (will attract people into thinking its a weapon but very effective)

Wouldn't hurt to offer optional accessories such as holders as wrist bands; belts with hidden compartments +/- belt buckle weapons; stealth jewelry and hair bands/clips/ decor and baseball caps that double as weapons &/or alarms -/or blue tooth vs gps tags; easy access (holster-like) ~ "fanny pack" with accessories for stuff like chemical exposure mitigation incl nose clips and oxygen canister + goggles that may as well also filter out some % of blinding light +/- single lense infrared attachment + eye wash + skin cleanser, and sound assault mitigating ear plugs, + multi tool for escaping car trunk or removing tail light for waving for help &/or leaving a trail of evidence as well as a concealable saw for cutting rope or zip ties; maybe activatable thermal modifiers like hand warmers Etc.; stimulants to partially counter some sedatives; and other accessories such as smart phone "protective cases" with stealth compartments, hidden compartments in shoe heels &/or straps &/or fasteners that local shoe-repair shops could swap with regular heels; bullet-slowing combinations (gels, steel-weave cloth, deflective angles, Etc.) incl ability to integrate separate segments (free-standing but hidden separately, re-purposing parts of containers discussed herein, integrated into normal-looking clothes &/or jackets, &/or umbrellas, Etc.) +/- sleeves for adding "every day stuff such as cooking sheets or griddles, pre-made removable metal sections from your car, Etc.; with eachother to increase coverage; underwire bras with modified wire + closure hooks + standard-looking front padding; various multi- function fabric decor such as studs & rhinestones & appliques & ribbon & inner seam self-adhering holders of misc tiny stuff; ways to limit lay-people's hand-held (relatively weak) metal-detectors from noticing hidden weapons or create uniform patterns to camouflage what can't be sufficiently blocked ; Etc.; plus a line of custom-fit items to place inside of these hidden containers. Think 'Q' on James Bond. Women and teens particularly would benefit from such devices (+ manufacturers could make additional profits through partnerships with App developers and approved distributors could share profits from tuition for training courses tailored to the use of their proprietary products; Etc..

and where exactly should we put these items so when we were in attack we could get it effectively? (and fast) in a bag itll take time and we'll quickly get our hands off it at no time :(

[@spaceprince02]

I carry my pepper spray and knife on my lanyard around my neck when I’m outside my house so if anything happens to me I can quickly grab it. When on school grounds or places I’m unable to have weapons out I have my lanyard tied around my belt with it stuffed in my pocket or purse/bag/etc

[@capricorn2260]

Any better ideas guyz apart from being aware of your surroundings. Most items are illegal in UK except for what she is showing I guess better than nothing.

I do want to know if a kubotan is illegal in Hawaii?

[@dzulaiman2646]

as a guy , i advise for a girl carry pocket knife, box cutter, or any small sharp thing that would do the work. I do carry box cutter sometimes pocket knife, because i'm a small guy, work at warehouse, there is a shift that i go back at night where the road seems very quiet. If a cop pull over, just tell them you carrying this for self defense. Maybe they will fined you, but i rather pay fined than being killed in the middle of the road.
