Senior in NY- What can I Carry for Safety?

[southtex]

I am close to your age and I would carry a gun. I live in a gun friendly state which makes it easy for me to say but at an advanced age that is your best choice. If I lived in a restrictive state I would still carry a gun.

Another option (I feel your pain, I'm in Illinois)

A belated thank you for all the helpful input. Among other things (eg tools), I hooked up with a senior-friendly martial arts instructor whose expertise is in the Filipino martial arts (Kali). He will start with empty hand Panantukan and then move to 'tools'.
Thanks again.
