Men don’t wear rape whistles
My friend approached his city councilman and asked, alluding to the Georgetown murder, how the victim or the woman with him (she was nearly raped) could possibly have defended themselves, given D.C.’s strict gun control laws. My friend correctly noted that a stun gun or a handgun may well have thwarted the attack.
The councilman’s answer?
“Wear a whistle around your neck.”
In DC, guns and stun guns are banned. And you need special permission to have pepper spray. It’s a city where those who are not criminals and those who are not politically connected are forbidden from defending themselves.

D.C., Capital of the free world, where you can own a (disassembled) long rifle. Where possessing a single spent round of .22 rimfire (that perhaps worked its way into the well in the trunk where the spare tire is kept), or one of those inert cartridge keychains is the legal equivalent of carrying a concealed handgun.

Those whistles really work. Take your typical crack addicted rapist, one note on that whistle and they are long gone. I have one next to my Glock. Shoot first and then whistle.

Wear a whistle around your neck? That’s just irresponsible and dangerous. A criminal is likely to grab the whistle and choke you to death with the cord.
