Mace Baton

Lacy waited tables at a hip little bistro a few blocks from her apartment. Though she loved her neighborhood, she always prepared for the unexpected.

One night, one of the diners got a little out of hand. She could put up with rude customers, and she could even tolerate patrons who had a little too much to drink. She and her boss agreed that anyone who tried to lay hands on her or on any of the wait staff would end up enjoying the rest of their meal "to go."

So her boss ejected a customer who looked like a rumpled college professor after he tried to pinch Lacy’s bottom. The guy created a huge stink, but the customers applauded when he fell down the steps and landed on the sidewalk with a thud.

Later that night, after Lacy banked out and counted her tip money, she headed back down the street to her place. She thought she heard footsteps behind her, but saw nobody when she swung around.

Another block away from the restaurant, she thought she heard a trash can rattle. Still, she couldn’t see anyone in the shadows.

Only a few steps away from her building’s front door, Lacy heard someone sneeze. She whipped around to see the drunken customer from earlier that night.

He lunged at her, shouting, "I’ll show you!"

Instead of bolting for the door - she wouldn’t have made it in time, anyway - she pulled out her keys. Instead of a usual keychain, Lacy carries a Mace Pepper Baton. It’s small enough to fit in a purse, and durable enough to inflict pain on an attacker.

As the drunken patron grabbed for her hair, Lacy ducked down and slammed the Pepper Baton across his kneecap. Wincing in pain, he buckled over and made another swipe at her. She retaliated by holding onto the baton and swinging her keys against his face.

Stumbling, the attacker made one last grab. Lacy pointed the baton at him, unleashing its secret weapon - a blast of debilitating pepper spray.

Lacy’s attacker crouched on the sidewalk while she dialed 9-1-1 on her cell phone.

"Next time," Lacy said, "stick to what’s on the menu."

Yours in safety, Mitch McDonald
