Members Gezzer Posted November 3, 2022 Members Report Posted November 3, 2022 Frodo's topic got me to thinking . ( DANGEROUS ) is what the wife calls it . Our daughter works at a library , the employee entrance is out of sight and a little secluded . Now they always close up and leave in pairs ( never just a single person ) but in a bad situation seconds matter and the buddy might not be able to do much . God forbid anything ever did happen being able to make someone turn her loose might give her the few seconds she needed to get to her car . She has options in the car . This to the throat or eye of a well grown man will more than likely make him turn loose . Worn around her neck it is just a tool she uses to straighten out bent bindings on books !! No harm no foul per any regulations . Folks it is a mean ole world we live in , keep your head up and always be thinking !! Yes is just a slicker but it fits in the hand or fist nicely . Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 3, 2022 CFM Report Posted November 3, 2022 awesome is all i can say! also teach her the solar plexus strike with the blunt end of that and a brachial stun. We were taught many self defense moves at the prison i worked in, a desk top staple gun opened up makes one dandy sap too. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

I do appreciate that Chuck and she has had the very basic instruction but I don't know if those were taught ? Quote

I do appreciate that Chuck and she has had the very basic instruction but I don't know if those were taught ? both quite simple the solar plexus is that really soft spot right under your rib cage in the middle of your chest its easy to find just take your thumb and push in there you'll know instantly how it would feel. The brachial stun is on the side at the base of your neck its a group of nerves right at the base of the neck and what all the movie karate chops used to simulate.

Contributing Member Samalan Posted November 3, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted November 3, 2022 I bought all the nurses mace at my docs office and showed them how to use it they wanted gun's, the thing I like about mace you shoot the wrong guy no big deal O shit that was the minister just wanted directions ! it happens wow the very same situation very excided gal boom boom, boom boom boom, went the 9mm and she only hit him once, one of those 9mms went across the street and killed a kid playing baseball!!! not that I'm against gun's I'm not I carry one my self just sayin the slicker in the eye would be best but then O shit that was ,well you know the story. I told this story to the nurses they were very happy, get her the mace then when she go's from bldg. to car have it in hand ready to go get in the car put it away it easy and that pepper in the eyes is no joke ! the slicker takes a lot of training Quote
Members Gezzer Posted November 3, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 3, 2022 @Samalan Yes mistakes happen , not really talking about her walking out the door and attacking someone just standing there . But when a stranger puts his hand on her it will be go time , I am the exact same way . Up until you produce a weapon or put your hand on me you are only a concern ,when either happens you are a threat ...... Pepper spray is good at a little distance but once you are entangled you may get as much as the bad guy . I don't want to be fighting off a bad guy when I can't see . When BAD comes it comes in a SPLIT SECOND . Some people will handle the same situation different , some will freeze , others will surrender and some will fight as though their life depends on it .... often it does . I appreciate your thoughts but they are not in line with mine . Everyone has to make their own personal decisions and I won't tell anyone theirs is wrong . Quote
Members Brokenolmarine Posted November 4, 2022 Members Report Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) It will make a nice non-lethal alternative. You can use it to apply additional pressure to pressure points, or lift at hinge points to effect releases. It would take some training, which I used to include in a course I offered. We used Kubatons, which can be found as keychains. The students could substitute standard or large Sharpie markers, or fat metal ink pens; which no one would question being in a pocket or purse.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted November 4, 2022 Members Report Posted November 4, 2022 Before our ancestors figured out how to knap flint, they made spears out of sharpened sticks that had been hardened in a fire. That looks like a pretty useful weapon you made her, and no one's going to complain about her carrying it! Quote

She comes out of the bldg. starts across the parking lot sees a man about 75 feet away like I told the nurse make a new path to one side if he turns into that path turn back if he then turns back when he is about 10 feet away spray him! don't talk! spray! him if she waits for him to put his hands on her she is in trouble . I'm not trying to make you wrong it's just a good option that could save her life. all this is IMHO. Quote

All of this is good advice I have given her when she sees a concern at distance , I agree. Distance gives you options , I guess where I failed to communicate is this is a blind door , no camera view , no glass , no peephole , no way of knowing what is on the other side until you open it . This was my big point of concern , just as they step out of the door . I should have been clearer . Quote
