I, like probably many other females, am sexually intimidated/taunted (shall we say) by men everyday from their cars, on the street. Sometimes it gets a little scary. I live in a big city and carry, at least one of two weapons when I'm out alone--yup, I am fully aware I'm a little paranoid here :0).
Anyway, I've always wondered what would happen if one these guys tried to grab me into their car or try and cart me away, but before anything could happen to me, I instinctively spray the guy with my mase or cut them....and end up blinding them or, gawd forbid, killing them.
Would I go to jail if there was just intent on their part before I was harmed in the encounter? Is this a clear case of self defence?
For all you law experts, this might be a ridiculous question. So, could you please share your wisdom....without pointing out my, uhhhh, obvious lack of knowledge in this area?
Sorry this question ended up being so darned long...
