> That's why I also encourage folks to keep a knife in their purse. That is a very bad idea. Never use a weapon that you cannot withstand being turned against you. (Never carry a weapon is a good idea in general) If you must carry a weapon some form of tear gas is a much netter defence weapon. If it is turned against you it does not kill you. Like a knife does.
