RIDES. I remember back in my high school days in Cleveland many moons ago I had to hitchhike about 18 miles to get close to home then walk another mile for the last leg of the journey. I wouldn’t think of doing that these days. For folks at bus stops or wherever DON’T accept rides from strangers.

Self defense products like stun guns, pepper sprays and personal alarms allow you time to escape. They will give you from 3-15 minutes to escape to get help or just escape and survive.

Stun guns are not legal in some states. Some cities and states have restrictions on pepper sprays. Check with your local police department.
