"If you really need to take someone’s life, they’ll make that decision for you." Great thing to remember. You don't decide to kill; you decide to protect yourself. Death may be a byproduct of that.

Among less lethal options, I recommend a walking cane. There are cane martial arts programs out there (Cane Masters is one, but there are others) and you need to take one to make the cane effective. It has a couple of great things going for it though: 1) it can be taken anywhere, even on airplanes, as a medical device; 2) it's already in your hand so deployment is near instant.

It’s tough for some to admit, but death really is the most effective method of stopping an assailant. Someone who is no longer alive or at least incapacitated no longer poses a threat to you.
