I’d like to get others opinions on continuum of force and the idea of carrying a less lethal weapon as an option along with a firearm.
I think both it’sa hood thing and also not worth it as well. There are many times where certain situations may call for self defense but not be quite enough to use deadly force.
I also think that if a weapon like that is pulled the bad guy may also have a firearm and potential deadly mistake. Other thing is if you have a less lethal option with you and you use your firearm I’m sure prosecutor or court will find a way to say that it should’ve been used instead.
I have taser, Pepperball/ kinetic launchers, spray etc. I mostly have my wife carry these but I wonder what others do. I also don’t like the idea of another item to carry and try to conceal.
