So i was thinking about a list of self defense items for when i move by myself. Just wondering how much is too much. 

So here is my list-- 

In addition to having a dog and alarm. 

I want to get pepper spray/mace, a taser, a little necklace that alert authorities ( i can see myself wearing this when Im out with my baby alone as he is an arm baby) 

And ofc a gun...but a small one. 

 

This isnt too much is it? 

 

I ran it by my friend and he said its good to take precaution

Wow. Ok.  I don't have a problem with it.  I want women to be as armed and able to defend themselves, as much as they can.

Now of course ultimately your help is the Lord.  I would make that your prayer every day.  Doesn't have to be a half our speech... just pray "I have this gun, but you are my protector Lord."

Easy enough.

And by the way, if at all possible, go learn some self defense.  Basic moves to stop someone that is holding you.  Plus it's gives you an excuse to do a little work out.

But, no this doesn't bother me at all.

I would put Jesus at the top of the list.  But that doesn't mean a 9MM can't be lower down on the list.  I have a concealed carry permit, and am on the security team at my church.  There will be no mass murders at my church.  Just make sure you're proficient in the use of any self defense weapon so you and your child don't become accidental victims of your own weapons.  That only comes with real practice.

Do not get a semi automatic pistol. Too hard for most women to rack the slide quickly. A double action 'wheel gun' or revolver in no less than 38 caliber. Double action because a child cannot have the strength to shoot it. Practise until your arms ache and your hands are sore. Practise with targets no further than 9 feet away and shoot with both hands; single and double hand grip. There are statistics for all this. Do not let anyone get close enough to use pepper spray and only use a taser as a very last resort. Put the taser in an ankle strap, so if you are ever subdued you can reach it easily. Bad guys high on crack laugh at pepper spray.

This is hard to say, but if you EVER draw you firearm, make sure your intent is center of body mass and aim to kill.

When you are confident enough, do a 'ride along' with a local sheriff or policeman and ask questions, questions, questions.

I have had a carry permits and been an FFL in the past. Check on your actual state laws regarding firearm legalities and carry restrictions. The carry permit seminar should explain this well.

Beware of 'no guns allowed' on store front doors. The bad guys know these places well. The 'no guns allowed' sign is an open invitation to them!!

Pepper spray is good for up to 25 feet. Most people are not going to mess with that. In Alaska they carry big cans of that to defend themselves against a bear. I sold knives for 20 years. I had people wanting to use a knife for self defense and I had to talk them into getting a pepper spray to put on their key chain.  I know of at least one girl who used it when a guy was trying to rape her. She sent her friend to buy her another one.

Not against mad crack dudes.. 25 feet quickly becomes way too close. Bears are a different story - they often are not high on dope.

All depends where you live. My daughter lives on her own quite safely without any of these things - but she's in a different country from you!

How big is the risk you are running? Try to assess this objectively. Look up the crime rate for your neighbourhood. Sometimes taking too many precautions actually makes you worse off. E.g. people often forget to factor in the risks of owning a gun (accidental injury).

Depending on where you live I don't think you are over reacting.

Are you moving to a bad part of town or something? I can't really say if you are overboard or not without knowing how things are where you are moving.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
