the goal is to end the threat. period

That's true, thanks for the opinions!

It's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six

Indeed, then I am just getting a Glock.

no worries man. Another thing with tasers, there is a small percentage of the population that it can cause cardiac issues with. Its designed to be less than lethal, but it doesnt always work that way. just thinking in a litigation kind of way

Plus if you ever had to use it against someone, you'd likely be sued. Theyd question your training, etc. tasers are a big mess of "Nope"

Active self-protection doesn't hesitate to say that tasers are only effective about 50% of the time

And that they are less than lethal

In a life-and-death situation you really should just trust a gun

^ 100% this

Ok, thanks. As you said, if I would ever feel endangered, I would use lethal weapon.

I use one in my work, but i almost wish i didnt lol

Yeah that's true.

The ideas that you are one step above the threat they are presenting

If they are unarmed then you use a Taser

But if they have lethal force on them like a knife, a stabbing implement, or even something like pepper spray

Then you go to the next level above that which is lethal

So typically a gun

Because if you have a Star Trek phaser then you get to skip that phase and still keep to stun

But since we don't live in the world of Make-Believe land

I would highly suggest learning how to effectively Mozambique drill

Two to the chest one to the Head

Ok, I thought that tasers are cool and you can't really kill a person, but if I feel that I am in danger I would go for gun.

with tasers you have to worry about point blank shooting. If you accidentally hit them in the eye with a barb, you're likely going to jail lol. Its best to just carry a firearm, at the end of the day its the cure-all. No matter the threat you're presented with you are typically covered

Carry a quick deploy pepper spray and a firearm and you will be covered

Ok thanks for the thoughts. I am also big fan of law enforcement, so that's also a plus in my personal opnion.

I go the extra mile and carry pepper spray, a quick deploy fighting knife, and a firearm

I cannot suggest enough the colonel blades folder

Oof that's a lot of safety

LOL if you only knew

I always prefered benchmark blades. Thats just me though lol

The nice thing about a colonel blades folder is that it's a punch knife

bench made*

fucking typo lol

So if you can punch and box you can use the knife you just have to remember to keep your punches flat be able to puncture through the ribs

so thats more of a slashing knife then right?

No it's a stabbing blade

It's a punch knife you can flash with it but you're not going to do a lot of damage slashing
