Student Group Wants Concealed Weapons On Campuses
I just read an interesting article about a student group pushing for concealed weapons on college campuses. This group along with others wants colleges to allow students and other people to be allowed to carry concealed weapons on the campuses, because they believe it will make the campuses safer and protect the right to self-defense.… Read More
Police Gear Website
Today I have the pleasure of telling you about 5.11 tactical, which is a good website selling police gear. They have a useful product line, especially their pants. For police gear, uniforms and clothing, it is not just a matter of fashion, but also a matter of safety. The website to which I linked understands… Read More
Do Not Leave Valuables In Your Car
I just read an article about a man who left his wallet and some other stuff in his car while at dinner. Thieves stole his stuff and used his credit cards to charge $2,500 before he even knew. The main lesson is to not leave valuables in the car. I would hope that the credit… Read More
Comments On The Anti-Rape Female Condom
I recently posted about an anti-rape female condom, which is basically a latex tube with shafts of sharp, inward-facing plastic barbs. Women can wear it in their vagina like a tampon, and it would hook onto the penis of any attackers. Ideally, the pain would give the victim a chance to escape and would help… Read More
Self-Defense Classes in Grade School
I do not remember ever having any self-defense conferences or events while in grade school. We had a lot of conferences, some memorable ones about fire safety or not dropping out, but none about self-defense. I would like to see self-defense conferences at schools. From elementary school all the way through high-school, I think such… Read More
$1.3 Trillion Wasted
The Associated Press reported today about the hidden costs of war. I include an excerpt: The economic costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated to total $1.6 trillion — roughly double the amount the White House has requested thus far, according to a new report by Democrats on Congress’ Joint Economic Committee.… Read More
How To Find Self-Defense Classes
If you decide to take a self-defense class, you will need to find one. Let me suggest some places to find local self-defense classes. A local YMCA or YWCA may offer self-defense classes. Give your local one a call. Colleges often have self-defense classes. They may offer some only to students, though. Community colleges often… Read More
Funding Security
Most of us want to live in a society without rape, murder, theft, vandalism and other forms of victimization and violent crime. Why don’t we do more to stop the violence and victimization? A lack of funding may explain a large part of it. I suggest the following to increase funding for the prevention of… Read More

Anti-Rape Female Condom
I just read an interesting article about an invention that supposedly protects women against rape by hooking onto a man’s penis. Woman can wear the anti-rape female condom in their vagina (like a tampon), and it has sharp inward-facing plastic barbs that become attached to the penis of any rapists. The anti-rape condom has some… Read More
Daylight Saving Time Ends
Daylight Saving Time ended last night. At least in the United States, it now generally gets dark before 5 in the evening. This makes it an appropriate to make sure that women and children do not have to walk alone during the dark hours. Single mothers especially often have to work long hours and often… Read More
