My wife and I like walking around downtown areas at night when we vacation and here as well. Never had any issues other than a dog attacked us. Size 10 1/2 steel toe hoot sent him running. I always carry a knife and my walking stick. Not much against a gun but it gives the wife some comfort. Take a self defense cane crash course...you can defend yourself and look dapper at same time.
