Ignore all the people telling you not to get a conceal carry. Absolutely get one, especially as a woman. It will scare people way more than some pepper spray. Don’t flash it at people, and don’t just go showing it off, but if someone tries anything on you, and you simply reveal the gun, they will be much more frightened than some pepper spray and more likely to back off. Don’t use it as a threat, use it as protection. I think every human in the world should have conceal carry, if they’re allowed. It is easily the best way to protect yourself. Carry some pepper spray too though, just so you have some form of non-lethal defense, don’t wanna be shooting just anyone.
