18yr old daughter is starting college and needs a self defense weapon. Guns on campus are out so what is the best self defense weapon?

[testdepth]

Many different items out there. What is the best?

Situational awareness and avoiding trouble is going to be one of the best things. Is pepper spray/stun guns legal on campus? Always use the buddy system and never go to places/parties alone.

Praying for your mental sanity as the parent in this situation I know its easy to worry.

Pepper spray/mace. If those aren’t allow. Keys can make a heck of a weapon if held correctly in fist.

Knife should be part of the plan. Daughter fortunately had one when she was attacked. He ended up bad shape but he was pretty lucky...she usually has her sidearm.

A bayonet at the base of the neck seems to work wonders...

This. Get the gel kind….it’s easier to aim and it won’t blow back into her eyes.

Umbrellas are very effective as long as she remembers to bring them along
