Riding Solo - staying safe

[kamikazejane]

There are a zillion great holsters for women these days, and I am certain you can find one that would work to take with you on the bike. Just make sure you can legally carry a firearm on your person first. Www.corneredcat.com and www.thewellarmedwoman.com are both excellent resources. Pepper spray is good if you can't have a firearm, but your attacker will have to be fairly close for you to use it, and if your attacker happens to be high on illicit drugs, even a direct shot of pepper spray to the face may be totally ineffective. A firearm is truly the great equalizer. Good luck!

Michigan is a friendly gun toting state ....for the time being until our rights as Americans continue to be striped away, but that's a topic for another thread lol

Thanks for the links. I will have to check them out. I could probably clip it into my back jersey pocket. I would have to practice drawing it from there. I could probably get a bag to carry towards the front on my top tube and slip it in there leaving an opening for easy access and draw. But then if I am knocked off my bike I don't have access to it so it's pointless to carry at that point. Then I worry about it being up against my skin when Iam sweating salty sweat all over it.
