I think we are a long long way from any civil unrest you would have to worry about in your home.

Driving to work or commuting on public transport could be an issue if there were things like 2020, many people had problems trying to use the roads during unauthorized disturbances. Recently part of an interstate was closed in CA. Most municipalities or local news orgs have places to keep abreast of current situations as they arise.

The best self defence classes have lots of info about avoiding bad situations. The best fight is the one that doesn't happen.

Worst case bear spray. Shoots 20 ft. No one gets killed. costs maybe $40.

When you say deterrence, do you mean hurting someone? WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2025 #3

Yes. Maybe the term is neutralize, but not kill... OneGrassRoot Feb 2025 #4

If you're going to be firing something, you should come to terms with the fact that any shot carries a risk of killing. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2025 #6

Okay, thank you. Honestly, I'm not as concerned about lethality against an attacker... OneGrassRoot Feb 2025 #7

Any bb or pellet gun that is useful for self defense is going to be lethal, like a hunting air rifle DetroitLegalBeagle Feb 2025 #5
