Here's an idea.....


Bring a monopod with you, and hang it from your belt. Have the first extension out.


This monopod now becomes an "asp."


You know what an asp is, don't you? It's a police baton.


Yank that thing off your hip, swing it across the chins or the arms (swing hard), and it'll drop your assailant to his knees.


Very effective, and you won't have to apologize to anyone for using it.


Then, your precious camera and lens will not have to be sacrificed.
