The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough, use it! Forget the rules of engagement. The eyes, nose, and throat are soft targets for even the largest person. Learn some simple strikes with the head butt to the nose, upward palm thrust to the face, thumb gouge to the eyes, or flat foot strike to snap his knees. Don’t just strike at each target, strike through it with a whirlwind of blows. Remember, the vicious predator has no feelings, concern, or mercy for you.
If a robber asks for your wallet or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... also keep dollar bills and change in an easily accessible pocket. Then if someone tries to rob you, you can throw the “chump change” several feet away. The robber will draw his attention to it giving you time to escape. chances are that he is more interested in your money than you, and he will go for the money. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, or working, and just sit doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! A predator may 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. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head, DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat, DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead, put on your seatbelt, gun the engine. Pick up speed into anything solid to wreck 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 find your body in a remote, secondary crime scene.
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.

Be aware, look around you, look under and into your car, at the passenger side floor, and look in the back seat. 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. 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 or policeman to walk you back out.

If you see a note on the rear window as you start to back up, just drive away. Do not leave the engine running and get out of the car to investigate. Nothing can be as important as your safety. Manually lock your car with your door switch. Never use the remote, because predators can pick up the radio frequency, duplicate it, and unlock the vehicle with or without you in it. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY, better paranoid or vigilant than dead.
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!
Carry a small, powerful, defensive flashlight that will cause temporary blindness in an attacker while you can run away. Even your occasional flash of light in a dark environment will likely keep a predator from choosing you as a victim.
If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator has a small chance of hitting a running target as distance increases. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern!
If you have a permit to carry a gun legally, make sure no one can tell. Be well trained in the use of firearms and the laws of self-defense. A firearm can prevent an attack best while the predator is at some distance. If you hesitate when you must use it to stop an attacker, the predator may gain the advantage. In close quarters, wait for a distraction or good opportunity before you try to use it. Seek competent legal advice before answering any questions.
Women are always trying to be sympathetic. STOP! 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, which is when he abducted his victims.
Safety In Your Car: In the event of a minor accident, stop only in a well-lit area. Carjackers often provoke such “accidents” just to get a victim to stop. DO NOT stop on a deserted, dark street. Drive to a police station or a gas station. Use a cell phone and call 911.
If you are on vacation or just traveling in general, be suspicious of a call from the hotel desk just after checking in requesting verification of your credit card number “because the imprint was unreadable.” A thief may have watched you enter the hotel room and called from the guest phone in the lobby. Never open your hotel room to anyone. Use all the locking mechanism and peep holes. In the event of a possible room invasion, keep the bathroom light on and door opened so you can access it quickly.
