Fuck pepper spray. Pepper blasters homie. That shit gives you range.
40 bucks and you get 13 feet of directed pepper in the face. Plus it looks a hell of a lot more intimidating.
Hi I’ve been in situations like this before too. You’re badass for protecting your friend. I recommend getting a taser. They’re pretty cheap and they’re at must gun shops. With a knife it’s hard to imagine having to stab someone for self defense because it seems a bit brutal. A taser would help because you could tase him without seriously injuring him and also get it though his head that you’re serious about using it on him.
Also, I have a pepper spray gun I got on amazon. You can aim it at him like a real gun from 2 or more feet away, and if he refused to leave you could actually spray him. I’ve never heard of a woman getting in trouble for pepper spraying a man. In contrast, I’d have no idea what consequences there would be for stabbing him.
Lol and Muslims commit the majority of terrorist attacks - you don’t see rational people hating them you daft bint.
Didn’t you say that you need a way to defend yourself without a weapon? So that’s why you need a gun? Or might want one?? Do you insist on being the victim in all situations? Not saying guns are the answer but I don’t think you really thought about it. I actually carry one of these bad boys, I don’t love the idea of carrying a gun either.

So why don’t you buy that, and shoot yourself in the fucking face with it. Get fucked
A pitbull tried to attack my (then) 10 month old beagle once. Thankfully I was able to pick her up and turn my back in time for it to bounce off me. The owner then came up and pulled it away. It could have been much worse.
Even though I would recommend properly and legally arming youself, pepper spray is better than nothing. I recently was in Chicago for a week with my wife and family and carried Kimber pepper blaster since I cannot legally carry there. My friend that owns a pawnshop highly recommended them.
Get a Kimber Pepperblaster. It's a disposable, two-shot unit that basically addresses all of the flaws inherent with the typical canister-type pepper sprays. The most important being that it has a 3 year shelf life. Those cheap keychain pepper sprays slowly lose pressure and often have been dead for months/years at that critical moment when they're needed.
A knife, particularly a small one is a really poor choice for “self defense.” You do not want to be that close to someone meaning to do you harm, and with a few exceptions, pocket knives are designed to be used as tools, or at least jewelry for your jeans. If safety is a concern, buy a pepper blaster. It’s non-aerosol, so it’s not affected by wind, and you have 13 ft of range. Failing that, there ARE pocket knives that claim to be designed for “self defense,” but again, approach those with caution. A notable example exception is the Spyderco Human Being Unzipping Tool, but those are large, tough to find, and literally useless for anything but cutting flesh.
Maybe this is a happy medium between a handgun and knife.

What you should do, rather than let them chase you on a bike with a car:
Get to ground a car can't get to without seriously damaging it. Up a curb, onto someone's porch, etc.
Pull out your phone and call the police.
Pull the pepper spray out if they exit the car towards you, and fire it at each of them.
Get the hell out of there and run/ride away after that.
Good read: "Should You Carry a Gun Outdoors?"

>"...But that’s just the act of carrying a gun. If you ever have to use one, things get much more complicated. It turns out that getting a gun out of a holster and actually hitting stuff with it in an expedient manner and under pressure is really difficult. To be able to do that, you’ll need to pursue professional training and regularly practice what you learn. And when you carry your gun, you’ll be accepting the most significant responsibility possible into your daily life. In the exceedingly rare event that you ever need to use that gun, you’ll have to be absolutely sure you’re making the right decision about ending someone else’s life, because if you get that wrong, it could be the end of yours."

https://www.amazon.com/Pepper-Blaster-II-Kimber-Red/dp/B003L75SSI here you go. The kimber is flat like a wallet. They also make versions with belt clips.
Pepper Blaster is a good option.
Your post, and post history are enough to cause worry.
Please, a gun is not likely what you should be thinking about for self defense if that is what you are actually planning on using it for.
A much cheaper, and more effective alternative would be something like a Kimber Pepper Blaster II.
OC Spray is NOTHING to mess around with. It will stop an attacker, and you will not be able to self harm with it if you end up in a dark place.

I got the gel as a stocking stuffer a couple years ago https://www.amazon.com/Pepper-Blaster-II-LA98001-Kimber/dp/B003L75SSI

Have you thought of pepper spray? It's serves a similar purpose. Kimber Pepperblaster 2 is great. Try posting in /r/ccw for some taser tips.
If that's what you want, the Kimber Pepperblaster does a superior job of it.
