To the op, and others looking for self defense advice- if you're really serious, seek it elsewhere, not on a car forum.
There's plenty of people here that can weigh in on the subject. I myself served in the Marines from 04 - 08, and plenty others here are police officers, former and active military, etc. Hence why we have a 'firearms' sticky.
