Consider taking a self-defense course. A wide variety of courses are offered for self-defense and each should be considered carefully for relevance to your own personal situation. Choose a personal protection device best suited to your situation. Personal protection devices range from sophisticated alarms for your home and car to defensive sprays and key chains you can carry in your purse. Make an informed choice about firearm ownership.
Firearm ownership is a deeply personal and profound decision.
Personal safety is not always convenient. You must consciously integrate the options you choose into everyday life until good habits are formed. Make sure your house number can be clearly seen from the street. This helps the police locate your house faster. Put the numbers on the front of your mailbox if your mailbox is by the street.
