Crucial - Because of recent abductions in daylight hours,
refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do:
The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close
enough to use it, do!

2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND
IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you. Chances are that he is more
interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will
go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.). DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get
in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you
where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head, DO NOT DRIVE OFF. Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF. Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your air bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat, they will get
the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes, bail out and run
It is better than having them fnd your body in a remote location.

5 A few notes about getting ito your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

A.) Be aware: Look around you, look into your car, at the
passenger side floor, and in the back seat .

B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers
attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control
ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. Even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zig-zag pattern.

8. Don't try to be sympathetic: STOP IT. It may get you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man,who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of
unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle. That is when he abducted his next victim.

Take Care!!!!

good tips Winx. Thanks for posting...

And it don't hurt to pack a 357 mag.

These are important tips. The other thing is you can take self-defense lessons most of the time offered by the community or by the local police department or YWCA. Take them, they have actually helped me once.

Take a carry conceal class and have a good aim.

carry mace in your pocket not your pocketbook

Aim for the balls?

Thanks, Symbelmyne.

Yes!! And the eyes.
