I agree with Bill, though you may want to check your local laws on using bear spray on a human. If it is life or death, sure anything goes. But a pick-pocket or peeping tom may be a different story.


Another thing to keep in mind is bad guys will instinctively go for easy targets. One of the easiest ways to remove yourself from the "easy" target list is to simply be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to the people (or person) around you. If they know that you know they are there (confusing??), it will drastically lessen your chances of being a victim. I would venture to say 99% of the bad guys go after the people that didn't know they were there.
