I know that in previous threads ive said i was thinking about getting a pretend gun that would just make a gun sound to scare off attackers but now im thinking that its not such a good idea. Yet i still want something to protect me when im out and by chance end up in a sticky situation.
Does anyone know any sites where i can get pepper spray or a stun gun or something?

gordon bleedin' bennet zella ...you need to befreind and borrow a couple of big looking lads for a couple of brief occasions. once you've shown 'em off you'll have painted another canvass for the viewers eyes. create an impression instead of getting arrested.
there has to be a better way round your problem.
I would get a cab home from work but i dont have the money and work wont pay for it as im only 15 mins walk away.
Getting pepper spray i think would be the best idea. Just so i can stop them and get away with out seriously hurting them.
Oh and luby, im not going to get a pen knife cos that would make me just as bad as they are and i could get in a lot more trouble with the police for haveing a knife with me rather than pepper spray.
Oh and rolly where have you been?!?!? Huh! huh!
Ammonia - it's pretty nasty stuff so please don't take my suggestion seriously. It can burn and in high concentrations can be much worse. I've seen someone attacked with ammonia before and it's not nice.
look
It's not a good idea to carry things like that around with you. Things like that can be used against you aswell and then there's also the possibility of spending a nightor two in the cop shop.
Get a rape alarm. They go off at about 120 decibels, and they are fucking LOUD. Seriously, they are your best option- it is something that cannot be used against you.
I know you're really worried about your safety but please don't add to your problems by carrying illegal weapons too. Pepper spray is illegal as is pretty much anything that is "made or adapted for causing injury, or intended to cause injury".
You probably know all of this but there are articles here and here that may help you find another way to deal with the situation your in.
Good luck,

i've heard one of them before, my mum had one and she was testing it. to be honest, if i heard one i'd just assume it was a car/house alarm.
The rape alarm suggestion is probably the best one so far.
I've seen the scars on his face from when he guarded his exes on holidays and such.
That's safe enough for moi.
i had one and i set it off in the flat by mistake. i thought i was going to be deafened.
Yeah, but if one is going off in your ear it is very very loud.
Besides which, anything that attracts attentiopn towards an attacker is bad; even car and house alarms attract attention, with people looking out of the window wishing someone would turn teh fucking thing off:)
