Hop over to my Squidoo women's self defense lense and have a look at the latest article.
It's about things to think about if you consider utilising a weapon (such as kubotan, spray, keys, taser, knife or gun).
I'd love to get your feedback on this topic!

He was stunned
California -- A would-be robber got a shock when he was zapped with a stun gun while trying to rob a San Diego doughnut shop.
The robbery attempt occurred just before 11 p.m. Friday. A man jumped over the counter and struck an employee, then tried to take cash from the register. But the woman fought back, and another woman shocked the man with a stun gun, police said.
The man is in his 20s and about 5 feet 7 inches tall with a medium build. No weapon was seen, and the man ran off without the money.

Hazards at work, 21

More "stunning" self-defense
This story is a confirmation of something I already knew after working in a security psychiatric ward: That there are some strange individuals out there.
It also taught me that I'm far crazier than I thought, but that's an issue for another day :-)
Anyhow, in this scenario we have a couple of issues. One is that we either have a really violent husband using a 600,000 volt stun-gun - or a drunk wife that obviously scares her man. Possibly both.
Personally I'll go along with the court that sentenced the man to 40 years in jail.
On a side note, I've learned never to trust a media report 100%.
Another issue is that when you have weapons lying around, it's easy to use them. I've seen it time and time again: people will grab anything - premeditated or not - and use it in a fight. Stones, sticks, knives, bottles, guns, road-signs, forks, ashtrays, TV-sets, lampshades, glasses, tables, chairs... You name it!
Many people arm themselves with things such as knives for "self-defense" and end up being convicted for using it (or carrying it). If your an adult who are trained in it's use, prepared for the consequences and risks involved, and who's allowed to carry it - by all means go ahead. If not - don't! Things escalate very, very fast...

Stunning...
UK -- A man who was found with a stun gun by a doorman at a nightspot in Llandudno was fined £300 yesterday.
The 21-year-old restaurant worker allegedly carried it for self-defense after being injured in an earlier, unprovoked assault.
