Your elderly/vulnerable relatives? I have a great aunt who is 86 years old and still walks to the grocery store alone. This is great for her health and the fact that she has that kind of independence is also great. The problem is the grocery store is not in the greatest of neighborhoods and we all know that criminals/drug addicts/ predators prey on the weak. My aunt does not carry a purse (smart move).

My question is:

Do you try to give self defense advice to your friends/loved ones? What kind of advice do you give? I have given my wife some articles to read about awareness and what not, she hardly seems interested.


Any thoughts welcomed.
