My friend from way back and I are leaving for Indianapolis to study at Butler University. I am a cautious person while she is reckless therefore I took charge of our self defense protection.
Midwesterners are kind, however stun baton, pepper gun or Taser were part of how our parents brought us up and taught us the importance of bringing personal security devices like those. Maybe they were protective of us since I was their only child and Beth was the only girl among their children.
I started using a lipstick pepper spray as self defense protection in junior high. I know Beth's dad got her a cell phone stun gun after graduation. Together, we bought our first personal safety alarm with emergency flashlight at 13.
Our own homes are outfitted with a surveillance security system that includes wireless and hidden cameras, driveway, glass breakage, motion-activated entry alarms. Beth's has a pool alarm but since ours has no swimming pool
I remember being brought up using a child monitor alarm and computer activity tracking software. My parents were both working and had installed a concealed camera while I stay home with my babysitter, since then they learned to appreciate self defense protection.
A few weeks prior to our relocation we got ourselves travel and burglar alarms, safety lights and a door/window alarm due to my persistence. We are eventually going away from the security of our homes and their personal safety weapons.
Days ago, we were to shop for running shoes. I said to meet up at the car park. I was going to surprise Beth with instructional fighting DVDs in my car, probably the last bastion of self defense protection we have yet to conquer.
She surprised me, turning up with dog repellers and driver nap alarms for our road trip. That's Beth. She would not have braved three brothers if she was not crafty like that.
