When my cousin had her baby one time she took him out this van kept following her as she was walking to the store , they waited for her to come out and kept following her some lady got out of the van and started walking towards her , she told the lady she was calling the police , grabbed picked up her son and ran to the nearest 711, the van dissapeared and ever since then she carries a pocket knife with her. I know it's not good to be so paranoid but I believe it's always good to be prepared. I can't imagine myself stabbing someone but I am thinking of buying pepper spray , does anyone else have something on them for protection ?
