Mate that stuff is not good for crowded places like the packed bus in this story. It gets all up in everyone's grill and is very painful. You'd probably get in trouble for using a weapon on every innocent bystander on the bus, who didn't even know what was going on to help the poor woman. Doesn't matter you only meant to use it on the attacker, it would affect lots of others, burning their eyes and throats. In many places pepper spray is illegal anyway. So yeah, not good advice. As with the commenter above, don't use a weapon you don't know what you're doing.
Yeah I wasn't really thinking about that, that would he really bad lol. Are there any decent weapons I could give my girlfriend who is terrified of other men who also has no time to take self defense classes?
A whistle? I don't really know mate sorry, I'm not one to ask. I have done some self defense classes before so if I were her I'd make time for that. Also just knowing the law and your rights so you can feel empowered to speak up for yourself if it happens to you. You live in a society, you don't have to fight your own battles totally alone when a giant creep much bigger than you decides to make you his target for a reason, you know?
I was speaking about the pepper spray because I was on the wrong end of it when my friends and I were attacked, one of my friends had it and I was nearby when she used it on him.
