    Dont let unarmed female relatives travel alone.
    Regular Pepper Spray. Sabre/POM etc. Bear spray is not as effective as it is made out. Look up some of the training/information put out by John Correia.

    And depending on what area your in, consider keeping the doors on.

    If you want to go whole hog, Craig Douglas's course work is top notch. It's a time/money commitment because ECQC is a prereq for his vehicle combatives class but you won't leave feeling like you wasted either.

    Looking at easily carried, easily concealed, knives, I like the SOC-P dagger from Benchmade (or the CQB tool from Spartan blades if you want the original). They are under the 3.5in limit so as long as you don't get the double edged version, I believe you are on the right side of the law (I'm not a lawyer though so definitely double check that).

    I've trained with a lot of different combatives guys but have never really gotten into knife work as a discipline so I like the simplicity of an ice pick grip and a sewing machine style action if I ever have to put steel into someone else.

    I owned my Wrangler X with the hard top and full hard doors for 18.5 years and 278K miles without taking any of them off. It's final act of devotion was saving my life when I was rear-ended at high speed on the Turnpike just east of Pecos. The frame, body, seat belt, doors, hard top and roll bar all worked in conjunction during the collision and post-impact dynamics such that I was able walk away with only minor assistance. I ended-up with a broken collar bone and aggravated ventral hernia, but it easily could have been a fatality.

    Use a hard top and full hard doors.

    Touching on this, when I read the original post my concern for her safety would be more about a vehicle accident than someone trying to snatch her or something.

    I am a long time motorcycle rider and riding in Jeeps with the doors removed kind of freaks me out a little. Lol.

    Baseball bat or Hickory axe handle (or two) might be an option.

    The Science Channel had a show on deconstructing things a while back. They did a semi armored spy car that had a smoke screen built into the muffler and fuel lines built into the rear view mirrors that sprayed fire out to anyone approaching the doors.
