How would one go about defending himself in a situation like this?


In the novel that Edward has written, the incident at the highway was really disturbing in that he feels so powerless to stop the thugs from touching and taking his wife and daughter.

What are some ways of defending ourselves in a similar situation?

Keep a gun in your locked glove compartment. Some of these replies are ludicrous.

At some point, you're going to have to "read" or judge what other people intend to do. Whether they intend you harm or not. What Edward did in not getting out of the car was good. However, the flat tire changed the situation; He couldn't exactly drive away. Thus, I would have tried to find something to fight with and give my wife and daughter the same. You get ready to fight despite the odds.
