I don't know about you but when I taught a woman's self defense class in college we taught 3 things first. 1) The key trick works best if you put one between each finger. 2) yell "fire", more people respond to the word fire than help.(especially amongst a bunch of trucks) 3) SING- solar plexis, instep, nose, groin. Hit all those and most men will think twice about doing that.

Also a good swift kick placed on the side of a knee cap can ruin a persons day and probably make them need a cane for a good long time.

Jason says it best.^

Guys like me usually don't worry so much about personal protection since well I am usually scarier than the guy wanting to rob me lol ( 6'3 360 lbs of mean Veteran) But the first thing you need to determine in your situation is always,

Are there multiple people trying to harm me?

Can I evade him/her/them and successfully get away with a minimal chance of injury?

If not, do I have the courage to cause serious harm possibly resulting in permanent injury or possibly death to this person/people BEFORE he/she/them has the chance to do it to me?

The biggest thing is mentality and knowing where to strike and always land the first blow.

This is just the rambling of a level 3 certified CQC Veteran US ARMY

P.S. Seriously ladies and even some of you smaller guys should watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WNz06IL9wg it's funny yet it is a practical demonstration.

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

OWI:

Operating While Intoxicated
