How about this. Every woman should bring a man AND a dog. Not some lab or other wimpy mutt, but a protective breed like a chow or german shepard. The woman should carry bear spray, at least 8 oz of the high powered stuff like CounterAssault, and the man should carry a Glock G26 or higher.<br><br>Now, let some nut mess with THAT team!<br><br><b><i>"G.

The perp shot Jeff first, then Molly, then raped her and took their gear. He is now on death row. A man's presence is no guarantee.....especially a sleeping man. By the way, the perp had seen them in town, overheard their conversations and followed them out of town and up the trail. A word to the wise...........</div>

The girl who was just killed in Georgia brought her dog, which didn't protect her. A man is a much better choice, as most troublemakers can neutralize a dog or separate it from its master a lot easier than a man. <br><br>Also, most predators will not attempt an attack on a women in the presence of a man. Too many things can, and will, go wrong if the psycho attempts something stupid with a man around.<br><br><b><i>Jana Bregman <jabregman@bellsouth.net></i></b> wrote: <blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;">i am a
