Not just for runners. All pedestrians.

[@danr5462]

if you decide to use mace or any other weapon you must 1. PRACTICE using the weapon on a regular basis. 2. NEVER take out any weapon unless you are fully ready to use it, and following from 2 is 3. USE your weapon when you take it out, and use it with full force and commitment.

This is good but! She missed out on a very important issue: Most women/people run/walk with ear buds on. This is dangerous. It' cuts you off from the world. You can't hear someone yelling to alert you, a car blowing its horn or a bad guy sneaking up on you. DO NOT RUN WITH EAR BUDS ON. If anything, wear one and tuck the other away. This way you're still connected to the world around you..stay safe ladies (and gentlemen)

did she just say stun guns are only legal to use in 48 states where guns are allowed in all 50? the f*K?

00:40 Haha, I'm the exact opposite. If I encounter a lone woman on the sidewalk in the dark, I become a human Cat with a Bell and transform into the loudest klutziest key-jangling guy with the most audible footsteps and cross to the opposite side to widen her personal space.

The best approach is to not to run alone! You do not need the stress.

[@Shshehbjfkfkc]

That’s my me time! I will continue to run alone, but with mace or some other alternative.

[@DarkPassenger]

The best tip for women running, or living alone is to get a gun.

Want to know what laws don't control? Krav Maga classes!!! 😎

So they can fight off grizzly bears.

[@okfalcon6444]

That’s not always a joke. But a lot more people die from attacks by men. Of course.

[@user-yg1dg6xm2g]

@@okfalcon6444 A female runner / hiker was recently killed by a grizzly.

[@rushrush1209]

No chance against a grizzly bear unless you have a gun and shoot it perfectly.

[@dylansearcy3966]

Sometimes that stuff seems too extra

[@jesse6468]

You will never be safe runners of USA. And supermarket customers too for that matter.

[@vegeta420z6]
