Drifting back to Sparky's handling of the situtation: Sounds like she should get a blue ribbon. And I really agree with this, from GregM:
As to any suggestion that pepper spray might be helpful -- I have never been in this actual situation, so all I can say is, I think I'd like to de-complicate my choices as much as possible, and only have to decide whether to draw the gun or not draw the gun.
Well done! That guy undoubtedly had some sort of criminal plan (mugging, carjacking, etc) and was counting on the element of surprise (and possibly gender difference) to carry it off. Your alertness and your courage (turning to confront him) short-circuited his little operation.

Sure, if it were on a subject I thought he knew, and was well-written.
I don't know Lott's religious beliefs. Would they affect whether or not you'd read his books?
(And not only would, but have, knowingly.)
