i am a girl. i got a new job and i need to walk home alone at night. do you guys know where can i legally buy self-defending devices like pepper spray etc?
Well.. you will want to piss them off so they will leave you alone, but you won't want to "give" them something that might hurt you.
If you have a knife... you will probably be shaking at that time, they will easily take the knife from you and use it on you.
However, if you have a personal alarm, you will piss them off, they cannot use it to hurt you, and they will probably leave you and find another target.

You have to make sure you are strong enough that they won't easily over-power you. If they can easily grab the pepper spray (or any other weapon) from you, they will use it on you.

If you are a tiny girl, i don't suggest carrying/using any weapons, instead, get something that get noticed might help. Get yourself a whistle, and wear a bike flashing light on your bag at night.
If the public can easily notice you, you will be much safer.
i get off at 7pm...so i usually carry a long umbrella (with a pointy stem at the bottom) and swing it back and forth while i walk to my car....so hopefully i won't be an easy target...
I used to work from 7-4 and had to walk to the bus stop at 5:15am. It was so dark and scary that early in the morning in winter time. It happened one day there was a guy with a hoodie walked down from a athletic field. I was so scared. Since then I'd just walk on the road, not on the sidewalk as there weren't a single car on the road. My co-worker suggested me to hold the keys in my hand as a weapon. I worked this shift for 4 months and due to the safety issue I talked to my boss and requested to work a later shift and he agreed.
