Illinois State Police Recommendations
Tam has done a superb job answering the Illinois State Police recommendations for women's self defense. I guess we should all listen to their recommendations. After all, they are profeshinulls. They recommend:
Ok, I can go along with that "anything rigid" idea.........
The ISP goes further to recommend:
I would add COM will do just fine, thank you.
Articles common to your handbag that make useful defense weapons.
nail file
rat tail comb
teasing brush
pens and pencils
keys
anything rigid

Concentrate on these areas only when combating an assailant.

To be fair, you can't legally carry in Illinois, so the ISP can't recommend a handgun. That said, their suggestions are so ridiculous that I'm at a loss for words. As if a set of keys is gonna help you fight off a rapist.
I wonder why they don't encourage some kind of chemical spray or stun gun at least. I'd rather have that than a stupid comb.
If these items are so effective at deterring an attack, why don't the illinois State Police use them instead of "evil" guns?

don't get me started on Illinois..
I live here..
Remember the "firestorm" of e-mails after the Jim Zumbo meltdown? It's time to e-mail the politicians in Illinois, to change their laws and allow people to protect themselves. It's hard to believe; and a little sad, that these are the options available for women, or anyone else! Join me in e-mailing the NRA, or the Illinois legislature (using the Illinois State Police website) to change this ridiculous law, lives belong to people...not Government.
