hmmm, thinking...yes, yes...you are right something small, something that you could put in a leather or plastic holder, or she could put in her purse...
hhmmm...if only there was something like that that you could buy relatively cheaply and that really sends a message...
or she could just throw the poodle at the attacker i guess or plead for her life, because once they finish with phones and it ramps up to more (and it will) she is going to be begging for that small item..
Hell...even a taser ought to be legal in D.C.???
