Hi All,

My sister is taking a late night class at a nearby community college 
this semester.

I am worried about her personal safety after hearing about all the horror
stories which happened out in the parking lot everyday.

Can anybody recommend a personal safety device (such as Mace, Screamer ...)
so that she can protect herself if something happens to her?

Where can she purchase these personal safety devices (I need telephone number,
catalog name etc...)? Is there any requirements (training classes, certificates etc...) for carrying these?

In addition to the personal safety devices, what kind of precautionary
safety measures one should follow when you are out by yourself in the
dark, unsafe areas?

Thanks for any advise or pointers. I will summarize if there is enough
interest.

Tony
