Lethal backup options
In my humble opinion, there are different levels of training for self defense, but mulitiple lethal and less lethal options. With an ever advancing less lethal defensive market, I would have to say that I recommend that the majorty consider those options. One of the issues I am coming across more and more today are first time CCW holders. I am not one to push people towards carrying a firearm for defensive because I am very much aware that many of those that are considering carrying them, are not mentally strong enough to physically put up a fight and may be in the high risk of having their CCW used against them.
With an increasing unemployment and small business owners becoming the targets of home invasions and robbery, there are always backup plans. Less lethal technology is getting so good that I think that in another decade or so, carrying lethal weapons might really not be the primary weapon. Pepper sprays and tasers are being used by law enforcement with few repurcussions. I highly recommend those that are considering carrying 2 firearms, one as a primary and the other as a backup, the Kimber guardian, and ASP Pepper sprays are Sabre defense have less lethal weapons for consideration.
