And why when I was the victim of an attempted mugging I didn't report it and go out the area rapid

Re: Self defence ideas
The truth is this lady is not willing to take responsibility for her safety opting for the, I took advice of this bloke on line defence .
If you feel unsafe in a countryside area walk your dog somewhere where you do feel safe .
If you feel safer with something in you pocket it's up to you to take the flack if caught.
I carry every day a boker xs uk legal knife razor sharp , one hand opening with a finger choil so difficult to close on your finger.
It is 100% legal.
I don't carry it for self defense.

Says almost nothing about weapons. But from what I've read, what is the law is pretty much common sense.jansman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 11:04 am Here we go,UK LAW! https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/s ... tion-crime
"If a dangerous weapon, such as firearm, was used by the accused this may tip the balance in favour of prosecution." [This is where you are being prosecuted for hurting a burglar or mugger]
It just says you can use reasonable force, and that force can be disproportionate. Also it can be pre-emptive. You can use this in self defence, defence of another, or defence of property.
I guess you'd have to read about actual cases to get a clearer idea.
To get prosecuted, they have to prove it wasn't self defence.

Re: Self defence ideas
Carrying keys or phone in your hand then giving them a good smash in someone's face is a good way to defend yourself. Sticking your finger/thumb in a would-be attacker's eye also another one or giving them a jab in the throat or their male delicate area. Then LEAVE the area. If the w*nker has attacked you he is unlikely to go to the police. Do as much damage as you can then RUN.
And for the record, I'm pretty sure a whistle is going to do sweet FA if some piece of sh*t is hell bent on attacking you. You go at them with whatever you can to defend yourself - hands, keys, phone, a tree branch if you can get hold of one. Don't listen to people who would literally rather you got raped or beaten up rather than try to defend yourself. Men telling women not to defend themselves against rapists and murderers - I've literally heard it all now.

Yes! All of these things. Eyes/throat - a quick jab in someone's throat is going to render them pretty much immobile.Arzosah wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 6:04 pm And just to keep it a little bit light hearted, even though the prospect is horrendous, think of Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality: SING: solar plexus, instep, nose, groin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNJwxJXr2jc

I am not suggesting‘don’t do it’ ,it’s just that I know the reality.

My daughters I taught physical,non-weapon self defence years ago. That was an advantage of being a former R.Marine! Thankfully,neither had attacks,but I nagged them constantly to be aware of their situations at all times.
