So I was talking to my parents today, I'm not going to go into all the details beyond the basics because the police were called. Long story short my parents volunteer for the Romney campaign since they are effectively retired. My mom was coming home and noticed two black women with a pitbull in the back seat of their car stopped in front of their house allegedly eyeing their Romney campaign yard sign. My mom then pulled into the driveway and walked in as if she were going in the side door, but stopped out of line of sight and waited to see what they were doing. One of the women allegedly got out of the car and proceeded to kick and spit on the sign, and then sit on it in an attempt to crush it. My mom called 911 and with phone in hand came out from the side of the house and said to the effect of that the people were trespassing on private property and vandalizing. The woman then allegedly proceeded to call my mom a racial epithet and put hands on my mom. The police showed up for once in the nick of time before things could really escalate. The woman half my mom's age that allegedly attacked my mom then proceeded to allegedly make some bogus claims about my mom to police. In the end nobody was cited, but as my parents have also been converted to fully pro 2A over the years it could have turned out differently...
...allegedly...
Regardless, I think depending on your state's laws etc, its probably to good idea to have a means of defense on the way to vote if you're the type that doesn't carry on a daily basis per-se.

She has spray, she shouldn't have ever let the person get close enough in the first place, but my mom isn't the most tactically minded person...

Pepper spray might slow someone down. But enhanced speed lead poisoning works well too.

I was going to ask about this. Why, if she had access to her home, would she confront the person without the mindset of self defense? I assume you don't know what was going through her head but figured you may have asked.
If you are going to confront someone on your property or vandalizing your property, awareness should tell you one of two things is gonna happen. Simple put Fight or Flight, if your not ready for either don't put yourself in the situation.
I hope this doesn't lead to further issues....

Fucking Obama supporters make me wanna puke.
It's a damned shame that this is the NORM.
I was just talking to a client of mine the other day about the election and she was talking about how her young kids were talking about supporting Romney (in public) and she had to tell them to stop for fear of retaliation.
That's DISGUSTING. It's also REALITY.
The party of "tolerance" is a sham.

People, even on 2A forums, really seem to underestimate the usefulness of pepper spray, which is unfortunate.
A good face full of pepper spray is a good deterent for certai types of scumbags.
A gun rack in a pick-up is not for holding guns. Its a place for women to hold on to.
