"Is It 'Christian' To Mace a Pervert?"
Are you kidding?
I've hosed down 3 weirdos already this week. And it's only Thursday... 3 more days to go.
Wow. Won't THAT be a Sunday to talk about:
"What'd you do this weekend, Kim?"
"Oh... went to church... Maced 3 perverts... Went to Bible study... You know. The usual."
I say, Bring it on! I'm going for the record, y'all. WHO SAYS SINGLE LIFE IS BORING???!!!

Let's put it this way...
Mace is expensive. I even have a separate category for "Self-Defense Aids" worked into my budget (I've found mace is slightly more discreet than numchucks... and, as a bonus, it doesn't do as much to promote racial stereotypes.
)
I may need a second job just to cover the costs...
*wink, wink*
(In all honesty, there have been a few times where I WISH I would have maced several people... for a variety of different reasons other than being a pervert. For instance, the server at a restaurant who said in front of everyone, "OMG!! How can such a tiny little girl eat so much!!!" Ahem.)

Mace is prohibited in Canada, at least it was when I was wanting to buy nunchaku (numchucks). I found out that they're also prohibited, btw, but that was almost thirty years ago.
About the most serious self-defense item we can carry is a Fox-40 whistle. I had one blown in my ear (foolishly, not because of something I was doing wrong) and it slowed me down for quite a while.
I think it's quite okay for a person who feels physically threatened to defend themselves and slow down the "attacker" but only in the case of "clear and present danger". Unfortunately, that is subjective. I'd suggest that those who do carry mace, (or numchucks) use it when there is a physical threat (not just verbal), a means of escape, and without any warning.
Just my ivory-tower opinion. I'm blessed not to have been in a situation (as an adult and Christian) where my physical safety was threatened.

Oh, I'm one of those annoying types.... after I blush red to the root (what? I'm a blusher) I'll calmly ask them if their behavior/words are appropriate and ask what it is they hope to get out of this.
It's so unexpected for people who are used to victimizing others to be treated like real human beings. I figure that if I can care about them just a little, maybe show them Jesus? But if it's a violent situation? I'll defend myself.... if I can't run away, I'll go down fighting. Haven't had to hit anyone in a very long time. I prefer not to... hurts the hand.

I love this post so much! The English language is stupid. Here in Australia, we call 'mace' or 'pepper spray' 'capsicum spray', and yet I don't think it contains any capsicum. That said, most people don't even own any, because Australia is generally safer, except for all the animals that try to kill you.
