How about a TASER.??

One of the guys I am talking about when you shot him with a Taser just reached down and took the leads out and threw them on the floor and looked at you. Then you knew you were in big trouble.

I don't think you want to get shot with a .32 ACP round either. I just bought my wife a Beretta Tomcat .32 auto because she complained about the .38 Special recoil since her hand surgery. The best gun is the biggest one you can tolerate the recoil and easily carry.

One of the problems with OC (pepper spray) is cross contamination. Any law enforcement officer can tell you you if you spray someone, you or your partner are also going to become contaminated. I have also seen people that have not been or have barely been affected by it. I would recommend a lager sized .380 ACP chambered pistol, something like the Walther PPK. The extra weight from the metal frame will help with recoil. I'm sure you could probably experiment with recoil spring weights with some aftermarket springs from Woolf if she has trouble cycling the slide.

Hi...


Although not as 'potent' as some other calibers, I would have to recommend an 'in-between' gun...the .380.


Also, there is quite a difference between bear spray and conventional civilian-carried mace. Bear spray that is EPA registered will do quite a job on the biggest bears...and might not be a bad choice for human prey also.
