Tips
on Less than Lethal
When caring a gun is not an
option there are plenty of other choices that can give you a measure
of security. Each of them have merit for any given set of
circumstances.
Sabre pepper spray, offers a wide variety of packaging options for the various activity’s you might enjoy, whether a hiker, biker, jogger, or out on campus. These are handy easy to carry and spray a ballistic stream that can reach 8-10 feet. The capability of shots, distance and capacity depends mostly on size of container.
My personnel favorite is the Kimber Pepper blaster. It's a little larger than a cell phone. It offers a two shot capacity that is propelled by a small powder charge, which has an effective range of 13 feet. It hits it's target with authority at
90 mph. A single shot to the face should disable an attacker for 45 minutes.
Consumer grade Taser's are about the size of a TV remote they are not inexpensive. The Taser disables an attacker by shooting two small projectiles into their skin. These are connected by wires for a high voltage discharge that will last for about 30 seconds. The effective range is a distance of 15 feet. Size of the unit can be a concern for easy carry.
Stun guns are a contact defense tool. They don't shoot an electrified projectile but if you are wrestled down they can be quiet effective when jabbed in the ribs or soft under belly. They put down an attacker with an electric jolt.
These products are not designed
to stop someone, they are designed to create time. When an attack
takes only seconds and police respond in minuets, the more time you
have the better, to stay alive.
