You might not have the opportunity or be middle aged like me (slow) so avoidance would not be a great strategy. Also if you are with family - flight is probably out so you will have to bargain or fight. . I am in the situation where any young person could out run me but most could not fight there way out of a paper bag... When I got to about 35 years old - I made that decision. . Thanks for drawing this issue out some – there are a lot of variables to consider. Hi Ash,

Additionally having a layered defensive strategy is a good thing... who knows what will work in a real attack. I personally depend on staff's and clubs in my home as I work out with them. On the street my wife carries pepper spray, we have large dogs in the back yard and I am proficient at karate... again a layer defense is what I believe will work best. Hi Clint,
