I recently moved to a different country where the most prevalent crimes are muggings and home invasion. It's an island in the Caribbean with a medical school where students are frequently targeted.
I know the location is different and that may need to be taken into account, but in all of your experience what less lethal defensive measures would you recommend? A little info. Often people committing these crimes are often in pairs. I am a male, average build.
I was looking at several expandable batons online and lots of people/officers have recommended them, but I don't have any training. I will be home for summer so if I choose that option I will seek at least some training.
Lastly, I'm sure some of you will say this... I know it's about being smart. If they want cash and you don't have much on you, give it to them. The last thing you want is something you are carrying to be used against you. This is something I'm looking into for more serious situations. (sometimes students are threatened with a machete or things can get more serious if the mugger isn't happy with what you have. This would be for those situations.
Oh also, I was browsing around while waiting for account to activate... Are some people for real? "Oh I sold drugs like way back. 6 months ago. What are my chances?!" Also peanut butter? wtf
