It's a decision you have to make BEFORE it happens.

Just avoided getting mugged need some advice

My wife and i went out for a late movie night a couple nights ago. We’re in Orange County California and we’ve always heard about the crime rates but never witnessed anything ourselves.

We were arriving within our gated community around 3 am when i see a black jeep just idling in the middle of the road within the community. I drive around him and he begins to follow closely. I park my car within our parking garage which is next to everyone else cars. However he parks his car directly behind to block me. We weren’t aware that we were followed until my wife exits the car and is immediately rushed by a hispanic man asking her “Quien eres?”. I grab my wife and pull her into the car and i pull out of the spot barely squeezing through. i attempt to block their car so i can get their license when he suddenly floors it. Had i not moved he would’ve t-boned me.

My wife and i were clearly shaken from the situation and i honestly don’t know what i could’ve done to protect her or myself. If the assailant was armed would any hand to hand combat really help? Should i consider taking course and arm myself while i get a taser for my wife? I’m relieved nothing happened but i’m concerned of ever being caught off guard and defenseless.

I appreciate any advice and if this isn’t the right subreddit to post this in please let me know where i should post this!

What are your views on safety pendants?

I have come across plenty of safety pendants, and I have also seen one of the talk shows promoting safety pendants. These pendants have features like a press button to trigger either a fake call, SOS with Location tracking, and a loud alarm. I'm just super curious to know whether these work or not.

Concealed Carry Pepper Spray Gun?

I need help finding a useful pepper spray that is in the shape of a firearm without presenting itself as one explicitly. I want something that can simulate the ergonomics so that when I am able to purchase one I’d be used to it. For context I’d be doing unarmed security, or any normal job. I also like going on walks or runs during times that are typically low light. I’ve never been in any danger, but I’m in a pretty ghetto area.

Can I use pepper spray more than once?

I used my pepper spray once to try. But if I'm not wrong I saw something like they can be used only once. After that they are not safe to use because gas pressure will change after the first use.

Is that true? Should I change it to a new one? It's been like 2-3 weeks.
