You can keep it on a keychain or just carry it while running.

Run in a direction that will minimize the perp's ability to shoot or come after you. This would usually be in the direction the car was coming from, since they aren't likely to shoot over their back seat and they would have to turn the car around to drive after you, Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578331562765983229.post-65788169174265233532008-09-03T15:12:00.000-04:002008-09-03T15:12:00.000-04:00Yes, stay in a populated area or get yourself some...Yes, stay in a populated area or get yourself some hand held spray.
