The importance of being able to defend yourself physically?

That rug really tied the room together.

Yes, it really did.  Probably because it was the only thing in there ...

Rock Salt and Bacon Rind works for me! Seriously, don't get a gun unless you can shoot to kill, not wound. Sounds overboard, but an attacker will take the gun and use it on you.

What makes a TASER lethal is any medical conditions known or unknown in the person being zapped. Example had a man in his mid 30's brought into the ER with Chest Pain after being zapped by the police. Turns out he had a "silent heart attack" not long before and his Heart was significantly damaged. Went to the Cath Lab the next day. Ironically, if that had not occurred he would have probably kept on going until the next one...Heart Attack that is.

This will prevent having to get rid of the rug that tied the room together.

Police are not negligent for tasing someone that has an unknown medical condition, however, they are if they knowingly tase a person under the influence of narcotics.  (That kills.)

A high end civilian taser puts out a greater amount of voltage than police department issued ones.



If anyone did actually burglarize my home, I'd probably lock them up in my basement until they finished cleaning their bodily fluids off my living room rug.  Or until the new rug I purchased with their VISA arrived.

I'm not too fond of guns, but if put in a situation I could probably defend myself with my bear hands.

Huge paws, huge claws - of course you could, but how bout if you had bare hands?  And in the US the likelihood of begin attacked by someone without a weapon is pretty small.

[JPurcell]

That's true. In that case I would just hand over what I have because 20 bucks and a phone is nothin to die over.

It has been at least 20 years since i have been in any sort of fight but I have been in many of them and not once did a weapon come into play. Being trans, I would think it most likely that you would get singled out for looking like an easy target for an unarmed thug.
