Holy Crap! A self defense app! I think it would work better if she had a gun in her other hand....because threatening language from an official looking character on a phone is so much more effective than 230 grains at 900 fps....

How long before California and New York ban that app as being too dangerous for the common citizen to carry? :rotflmao:

I'd stick with the 207 pf of deterrence instead.

yea - that's the point. Its not illegal to neglect to inform your partner that you have AIDS. Crazy.

It wouldn't hurt to have that app AND a concealed weapon.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
The pointer is even worse
Her phone better be top notch, or she might get killed for not having one worth stealing.
Maybe the bad guy will be laughing so hard, he'll only take your valuables, and
go away? Course, it might just piss him off...
I agree, but for those who will not use or carry a gun...............it just may be a good idy. I think women should use something like that before gettin in an Uber and send to friends and family members too and lots of other situations.
Face it, so many have their eyes glued to an I-Phone/Cell Phone anyway and are unaware of their surroundings, why not use that which is already there and in use/carried.
First dates or Craig's List meets ups to buy/sell ...................sure something like that to let them know up front they have been recorded and their/cars image sent to family or friends just in case.
We are lookin at this from our CCW/ gun owners/we will fight back even with a knife or whatever perspective...sad as it is many will not and are perfect victims.
Just sayin....................it is better than nothing for SOME folks.

Anything they can use should be added to their toolbox.

BC...in no way, no how is brandishing a cell phone a viable option to defend one's self.....running away, screaming like a little girl is far more effective.
It is better than nuthin for those who will not use or try anything else, at least, the cops may get a pic of the rapist/killer/robber from that App to help solve the case...............I'm assuming it automatically sends an SOS/pic to an I-cloud or whatever that can be retrieved when that app icon is pressed???? If not, the attacker can steal and destroy the phone.

I somewhat agree Chief, but I would put it at the lowest point of better than nothing. Actually, if a woman doesn't feel comfy with a gun, get her a taser or a can of mace or both.
I believe that a real hardened sicko isn't going to be put off that easy. A good shot of mace or pepper to the face followed by a good proper tasing might get his attention though. But the bottom line is a gun is the best along with some lessons and practice.

And some things do neither...

Of course, too many people would place too high of an expectation on it actually working, and get some people hurt or killed unnecessarily, but it's a crap shoot, anyway, for those who won't prepare for a more logical defense. For others, like me, I could start pumping lead while my wife was giving the perp a shiny object to focus on. :tooth:

Yeah that was pretty stupid, and I would go with a .45 FMJ every time, over that simple-minded method. There will be women who get killed when they do that, instead of shooting the creep.
This deters no one, save for (possibly) some amped up punk looking for nothing more than to score a quick buck through a purse snatching. For the rest, the point of their attack is pretty much to catch their victim unawares... which they pretty much do. Most smart device cameras don't record fast action to video all that well, so, even if you manage to frame the suspect, the image will almost certainly be an unrecognizable blur. The problem with the "if it saves just one life/ even just 10% mindset is that, unless I'm one of those lives saved, I won't care much... not to mention that this video portrayed the app as STOPPING the crime altogether, NOT as "making it easier to identify the perp" after the crime has been committed.
No thanks. I'm more of a "make the dirtbag work (bleed) for it" kind of guy.
