It's a big stick with pointy things at the end, except collapsable so it'll fit in a standard sized purse. Much better than the spray canister I put up.

When you push the handle in, the spikes lay down and the handle collapses inwards. When you need it, grab the little bit of the end sticking out and SWING your arm! Inertia will make the handle pop out and that will cause the spikes to stick out. Whack the rapist/mugger, call the police, then call the paramedics (that mugger will need those doctors). Then sit down and enjoy the free soda that comes with purchase!

Say! Thats an idea!

Trained Ninja Mice fit in your pocket and come out with swords and nunchucks to protect you from attackers! And all they ask in return is a little cheese!

You'd better not post it.

Why not make the purse a mace, and then you will always have it handy.

Could you coat the spikes with a drug that causes impotence?

If the mace were brandished correctly, they would have that effect.
