Reker was right - one armlength is enough.

That's all right, Frollein, but it would be better if you get a pistol. Gas pistol at least (if you can't get a real one), 10+ rounds.
Those tricks may work if you get attacked by one person, but it will be easier for you to defend yourself with a gun if you get attacked by many. Also, the shots will attract attention, which you will desperately need.

Actually, a fake weapon is more dangerous than no weapon at all. If I arm myself, there'll be no fakes involved.

Not here... here they'll be the signal to hurry away.

I kindly disagree. Better something than nothing. Plus they will not know it's fake. And a pepper cloud is not exactly harmless. And if you happen to shoot in someone's eyes/ears, that would certainly knock him out.
But if you can get the real thing, go for it. I know almost nothing about the licences in Germany.

You can get a real weapon in Germany either if you're a hunter (but getting a hunting license is extremely expensive) or if you're a member of a shooting club, which is what I am considering. As a marksman, you can't carry your weapon with you (and as a hunter, only if you're out to hunt, obviously), though. Self-defense is not considered a viable reason in Germany But - hypothetically speaking, of course - better a trial than a funeral...

No, they'll think you point a real gun at them. And then they'll respond with their guns, which are real... I don't want to escalate a situation in this way. Better have a weapon that can really hurt and conceal it until they're in your reach.

Well, if you think it's better to be raped than dead, go for it.
You could also try one of these.

No I don't think so, didn't you read my posts?

Sorry, Frollein, didn't wan't to offend you. As I understand your only option is a real (expensive) gun.
But those are just palliative measures. The real change has to be in the government of Germany. May be you should go in that direction and kick Merkel's stupid ass out of office! Frankly, I'm even surprised she is still alive after what she did.
