Personal Carry: Less than lethal options

[h20hunter]

I'm looking for options and suggestions or ideas for less than lethal carry options. I'm looking to help provide some information and options to the wife for ideas on a daily carry option. Spray? Taser option? If I had it my way she would get her permit, take a few classes, and choose a new shooter for her...but....not quite ready for that.

Spray.  Get her a homemade WASP spray can holder for her purse.

Pepper Spray – its shoot and forget, or rather shoot and leave your assailant behind.  Stun guns require physical contact as do various batons and other devices.

I've been looking at the Pepperblaster2 by Kimber. Shoots a gel. Pretty nifty.

I would have to put +1 for a Taser. if the barbs don't stick you can pull that off and it can still be a stun gun. and get a black one, at a glance it would look like a gun and that might be enough to make the guy turn tail and run (not that you should count on it). but above all else I think a firearms is best but if shes not ready than this might be a good alternative.

Spray is neat and i guess if it makes you/her feel better to have somthing rather then nothing. That being said most over the counter sprays that i have seen over time wont work when discharged. Also the over the counter stuff and even the bear spray isnt the ouch factor of law enforcment spray and law enforcement spray is a great deterent but can also have little effect on a determined bad guy.

The WASP spray can shoot to 25' with a fat stream and is plenty potent. Should keep a can within reach of the bed as well.

saw this post and was like, What's the point?


buf if I had my druthers, it would be Aqua Net and a Zippo.

I thought the point was fairly clear?  Less than lethal. She is not ready to carry a firearm but we agree that something is better than nothing.

check with someone in the legal field...

But, I do believe pepper spray under a certain amount... and I don't recall what that is, is not considered a weapon, under Washington state law, and does not fall under any weapon restriction... in short you can carry it almost anywhere.

If it has an edge or is for impact it is a weapon according to the law and it can be restricted.

Sounds like this is the self defense weapon for her: http://www.wildbillwholesale.com/swpftd8500rb.html
