Just a thought -----, instead of getting into the car, retreat with kids back into store, which would also create distance and hopefully more help from others to keep the guy away until police come
Glad to see the gun come out in the last scenario, especially since she talked about it in the beginning. Pepper spray might have been enough to stop a knife attack, but the gun is a better way.
I don't like how in the first scenario that she was forced to look down in order to get the pepper spray pointed in the right direction, I feel pepper spray companies need to design the product better so one isn't forced to look to know what direction its pointed in. I felt like she could've easily created more space in the first scenario and after getting in the car should've locked all doored and got on the phone with police. I felt she did great considering it was her first time so I hope she continues to seek more training to be better prepared as we all should.
I dont know anything about the different brands of spray/gel but I 100% agree. I've seen one or two different kinds that have a very pronounced indentation for your finger to go before you can fully press down, and they should definitely all be like that. I know its important to have some sort of safety mechanism so that kids don't hurt themselves in the worst case scenario, but they should all be designed so that they can be used without having to look at all.
In a scenario with family members (children) , your first responsibility is to get them to safety. Have a plan. As a father or mother, when you yell get in the car, go back inside, run, etc..., they should know you are serious and not ask questions, not stand around, but move. You can defend yourself much safer if you are not worried about loved ones. Reduce the "noise" of the situation by reducing the number of people involved in the situation. Kids, family members, etc... are "noise" and whomever is going to stop the threat needs to not worry about "noise" but the task at hand.
That’s my mom!! I love youuu
she did a great job!
Great job! Tough scenarios!

A flash light in the day? I can’t see a practical application for that.
500 Lumens+ in the days works very well, I have first hand experience
It's very useful with the proper horsepower. We have an entire course on it.
What kind of flashlight is that?
Prob somthing 1k lumens plus if to be used in day, surprised they didn't touch on it. Not sure a 300 lumen light would work outside at 12noon
