Avoid intimidation and confrontation wherever possible. If confrontation is impossible, practice your safety tactics. If you are in a situation where a gun would not help, consider evading the situation or defending yourself verbally. The most important thing to remember is to remain calm and not use force.
Avoid firearms
Consider your personal needs when considering whether firearms can be used to protect you. In some cases, a gun can prevent an attack, while in other cases it may make the situation worse. You need to choose your weapon carefully and understand its ability to penetrate. You should also consider your surroundings.
Avoid intimidation
Although it may seem scary, pointing a gun at another person can make you a target for prosecution. Also, it is important to think about the opinions of others before you draw a firearm. Many police officers would like to see people with guns being taken away to protect their own safety. Intimidation is considered a level five felony. If a deadly weapon was used, it can lead to a six year prison sentence. It is legal to have a gun drawn to protect yourself. However you must still evaluate the threat to your safety and apply appropriate force.
Avoid confrontation
When protecting yourself without a gun, the best line of defense is your legs, voice, and ability to avoid confrontation. If you are able to, learn tactical strategies to defend yourself against weapons.
You can choose a non lethal weapon of self-defense
Before purchasing a non-lethal tool for self-defense, you need to be aware of several factors. Consider the laws in your state. Some states have laws against handguns, while others permit handguns. Knowing these laws is important as the legal battle that ensues from a violent encounter can prove just as destructive as the actual physical encounter.
The best pepper spray
Pepper spray is a well-known self-defense product. The spray inflames mucous membranes, causing pain, such as choking and coughing. You may also experience temporary blindness or burns for up to 45 min. It can be used in self-defense situations, although it is not lethal.
Selecting a TASER
A TASER, a non-lethal weapon, uses shock pulses in order to incapacitate its attacker. These devices are deadly, especially when they're used against people who have certain heart conditions. Therefore, you should choose the TASER that is appropriate for your situation.
