A lot of people have been talking about the value of having a nonlethal adjunct to deadly force...seeing as not every situation requires a bullet, I've been considering adding one. My sisters carry pepper spray and my brother in law uses one of those collapsible batons because he's trained in Escrima for essentially his whole life...so what's your preference?
Is any one choice considered more effective...and would an impact weapon be considered "deadly force"
I'd sooner stay away from electrical weapons, mainly because carrying a Taser is illegal here...as are blackjacks.
A further question...how do you carry one. Are there a lot of holsters available for batons or OC spray?
