Make yourself vomit, girl!

So many things.

• No, you don't legally need training or a permit to carry OC. Of course, it's banned in Chicago.
• No, it's not legal to carry a revolver, even a cap and ball piece, loaded in Illinois.
• Jeff, I can't speak for Oleg, but single out the ISP because I live in Illinois and so do my wife, my sister, my mother and my grandmothers.
• The ISP has not become more political of late. Their leadership has been political for as long as I can remember. They have always been beholden to the party in power and usually eager to accommodate their whims.
• Below is a picture of Suzanna Gratia Hupp holding up her complimentary "Illinois State Police Female Self-Defense Device," which was issued to her at SAFR Chicago last weekend. It closely resembles a tongue depressor.

How's this for a coincidence? I just clicked over to IllinoisCarry after I posted that, and they're partnering with ISRA and Second Amendment Sisters to get a booth at the Black Women's Expo in Chicago in two weeks. They need a few hundred bucks to pay for the space. If anyone wants to help out, feel free.

Just wow.

Last fall, down here in our small central Georgia town, several ladies were assaulted in the parking lots of the local big box stores. During the same week, another woman with car trouble was brutally raped on a lonely road at the edge of the county.

Then, a local TV personality in her '30's and quite attractive, had her head split open as she was drug from one end of her backyard to the front by three thugs. Her assault was only stopped when a mysterious woman (who never came forward), stopped her car and yelled for the guys to stop it.

THE NEXT WEEK . . . OUR SHERIFF AND OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY ANNOUNCED GUN TRAINING FOR WOMEN!

Illinois laws are whacked, but here in Georgia our Sheriff has now trained over FOUR HUNDRED LADIES on self-defense and awareness issues, as well as provided training at the Sheriff Department's range.

Hopefully the ladies can now help the Sheriff in a way that the courts cannot presently do . . . and that is to reduce the amount of repeat offenders assaulting women.

The DA also gave them a great class on the legalities of shooting.

Guess what? Assaults are DOWN!

Also, there was a huge run on handguns for months at every gun shop in a 60 mile radius.


MY WIFE WAS ONE OF THE FOUR HUNDRED!

She'd always been anti-gun . . . until the TV lady was assaulted directly across the street from my wife's business where she spends many nights working late. That changed everything!

She asked me to teach her. She asked me to take her to the range several times, and she loves the S&W Model 37 3" barreled revolver I gave her for her birthday!

By the time the sheriff's gun training came, her instructor told her she could have taught the class . . . and that she shot better than most of the cops.


Yep, Illinois could learn a thing or two!

The only folks down here who do not like the fact that so many ladies in our 16,000 person town are now armed . . . are the thugs. I suspect they want to PUKE!

S&Wfan...that is just awe-inspiring!

Why not poop while your at it, too?

That's my bear attack defense plan, in a nutshell.

I don't remember where my mom got it from, but vomiting and pooping were suggested tactics in the event of a rape because, according to my mom, it would gross out the assailant.

My mom also learned a SD technique from Oprah a few years back in which the expert said that the woman should immediately collapse to the ground and kick her legs. My mom swore that it was effective, because on TV the guy demonstrated it. Now, I am much, much bigger than my mom in both height and weight, but she is used to roughhousing with me, so I said "Mom, you get on the ground and really try to kick me". She did, and .5 seconds later I had her in a chokehold and was demonstrating to her how I could be pummelling her in the face (obviously, not really hitting or choking her).

The fact of the matter is that women get horrible, crap SD advice all the time from sources that many of them trust (for better or for worse), like Oprah. For example, pepper spray, which is a perfectly viable tool, is touted to women as the be all end all of self defense. After all, what criminal could rape or kill them if he got blasted in the eyes with pepper spray? Wrong. It can be effective, it is a good tool to have on hand, but it isn't magic.

I believe men should help empower women by letting them know that it's OK to fight. It's OK to ask questions about fighting. It's OK to hurt someone intentionally if it means saving their own skins. More women are getting there, but there are still an awful lot of women who defer to men on issues of defense, subconciously or otherwise.

I doubt it would do much to stop a rapist, but vomiting on the keyboard of the fool who came up with that nonsense would be satisfying. Then leaving something special from a brown bear in their shoes.

I wonder where the studies are that prove puking is an effective defense against a rapist... In fact, I challenge anyone to prove it has ever worked even one single time.

What, no takers? Then maybe the idiots who write this drivel should be indicted as accessories to rape.

Harpo

People who think this, or some silly self-defense class, is going to save you have never experienced violence. They have no idea how sudden, vicious, and brutal it really is.

I had a female friend who thought that she could simply not be raped. I asked her why, and she said it was because she'd poke the man in the eye. That's a good example of somebody who thinks they have a plan, but have no idea how swift and violent an encounter is.

Jeff, Here's one:

They have got to be out of their minds. Telling a woman (or a man for that matter) to pee, or barf or poop if attacked by a rapist is ludicrous, it may well just get the rapist excited, enough to kill the victim.

Then again telling a person they need to realize they are a potential victim, and that is the first step toward self defense, is ridiculous. I would teach people to think they are survivors, and winners - not victims but rather they who will come out of any confrontation better than their attacker.

Just like the intent of the poster.

All the best,

Don't settle for half measures, leave the whole bear.
