Who needs a gun???

Thanks to my husband, my daughter and I are now the proud owners of pepper spray:








and one of these, steel thing-a-ma-jigs:








I have not checked mine but I'm hoping that it opens....







The pepper spray is in my car so I have it when I take my dog out and such (although I've somehow forgotten to grab it yet). However, it just occurred to me that storing it in my car as the weather heats up *might* not be the best idea. All I need is to be driving down the freeway and my pepper spray canister explodes on me.

The second item (which I really hope has a blade in it because that SO INCREASES the cool factor), is for poking people (in case you hadn't figured that out). I think good spots would be the sternum, the eyeballs and the nuts, (although you'd have to have pretty good aim to get someone in the nuts with one of those). I think anywhere you jabbed them on the head with the thing would probably hurt like hell. The other handy feature of THAT product is it will break my car window should I ever find myself in my car, with my self defense weapon, under water.

I know this much, if I get to use one of those items and have the opportunity, I'm going to use all 3 (assuming I have the blade). If I poke them and they go down, I'm stabbing and pepper spraying them just for good measure.

Anybody else packing??
