Prepare: Top 3 Best Self Defense Weapons for Women
Before reading this article, please understand that without situational awareness, proper weapon training, mental training, and having some degree of physical fitness - no weapon can keep a anyone safe.
No gun will stop a surprise attack from behind by someone capable of overpowering the victim. For example, if Big Jenny is sitting at the park not paying attention - little Becca can sneak up behind her and hit her in the head with a baseball bat. Yes, big Jenny had a gun on her, but the gun proved itself useless in this situation because Big Jenny was unaware of her surroundings and unable to defend herself.
Understanding these facts, please proceed to read our top 3 defense weapons for women.

Training: Detecting a Threat
The Female Executive Protection Group wants to help our listeners spot a threat before it becomes dangerous. Remember - the best way to eliminate a threat is to detect it and then avoid it. Even if we try to remain blissfully ignorant, there are threats everywhere we go. There is always a "bad guy" hanging around hoping to have the opportunity to pickpocket, assault, or carry out a simple crime.
The following are all techniques/cues/warning signs that can be used by the everyday woman or professional protection agent to help identify a threat. That being said and regardless of the situation, human behavior has always been rather difficult to decode and there are still masters of disguise who are nearly impossible to detect. Also, we want to stress that there are multiple types of threats and the following list of techniques/cues is not all inclusive. Please read our disclaimer before proceeding.
