Ok, I got in a argument with my girlfriend about self defense. Heres the thing. She always carries the mace I bought her on her keychain. The other day she is in the city and her friend says she was almost assaulted the other day. So my girlfriend gives her the mace to keep.
So I say ok, go buy a new on at the gun store down the street from you. Shes asks why I cant buy it for her? I said because I wont see you for 2 days, you need to buy it and have it now. She said, "Im not going to the city, Im not going anywhere etc"
I tried telling her its not, where you are thats important. I told her that a situation can happen anywhere and you should be prepared at all times. She just wrote it off and refused to buy it.
Now this was stubborn on her part. I even offered rape statistics about how people are abducted from parking lots more than dark alleyways. What else should I have done? Anything else I can tell her?
And please, dont flame my girlfriend by saying, "well its her fault if she gets assaulted now" or "dump her shes stupid". Dont say anything condescending or cruel, this isnt how we help each other out on THR.
Its not that big a deal since I will get her the mace in 2 days. But alot can happen in 2 days and I want her to understand that. She has enough common sense to carry mace everywhere and notice a friend that needs SD protection. Why cant she realize this herself.
