Kimber Pepper Blaster II
We all know there are people that are living in States where carrying a firearm is not allowed, but considering how good modern technology has become, pepper sprays and tasers have become viable options for self defense. We also highly recommend people consider carrying some level of less-lethal device other than a knife or a firearm because there are are more than likely more incidences where dealing with an obnoxious bully or drunk can be diffused with pepper spray than waiving a firearm and then having to deal with law enforcement in a he said she said. While it is true that many Law Enforcement Officials have been using tasers, even those have proven to not always work.
With all of the crazy drugs people are on and how many zombie type things people take, you do have to consider that fact that less lethal weapons may not be the best option and carrying a firearm is a better thing. One of our favorite options to suggest to people are the Kimber Pepper Blaster II devices because they are shaped like a firearm and can also be holstered like one. I suggest carrying something like this as well as a firearm because it gives you some range and more accuracy than a stream spray and not the mess that a fog spray can make. There is always the chance of blow back but the liabilities are less from a legal point.
I recently spoke to a friend who manages a gun shop. We had a discussion about taking new shooters to the range and trying to break people in to not having a fear of having a firearm in their home. I know of several family members who normally vote Democrat in National elections that all said that they thought about the fact that they did not have access to firearms if something like that ever ocurred in their hometown. The idea of having extra food in the house before a snow storm isn’t paranoid, the idea of having smoke detectors in the home incase of fire is being paranoid, is having the ability to put out a fire in your house crazy when you can just let the fire company do it? What about having some level of defense in your home if some drunk shows up at your door at 2am or your husbands employee that was just fired wants to make an unexpected visit?
If you are looking to carry mace or pepper spray, I would absolutely have to urge you to do some research on the Kimber Guardian Angels also known as the Life Act. At first you might get sticker shock, and I think you may want to consider buying 2 of them and test firing 1 of them before you really get comfortable carrying one. I’ve earned my merit badges in seeing evil in the world I know walking around with the smallest pepper spray bottle to fend off a potential rapist, robber, or worse isn’t going to give you much of an edge. There are many reasons to consider carrying a less lethal defensive measure. You can blast someone with something like this without much of a worry about legal ramifications. I’ve seen pepper spray used against 0bnoxious drunks which in my opinion were justified.
You may seriously want to consider looking into some of the modern less-lethal options. After spending many years on the firing line, in professional situations and in casual environments, I’ve seen plenty of people pushed into firing guns that they did not feel comfortable shooting and even a handful of people that probable shouldn’t be on the firing line. I believe most of our population can handle some level of firearm proficiency, but I strongly recommend against pushing carrying firearms for novice gun owners. There are always variables we can argue about, but if I knew someone that was working late nights as a waitress or working at a bar, I would not pressure them to carry a gun if they did not have the training to use it.
As we grow in our skills, we are more than likely to think about changing the firearms we carry. I can’t tell you the number of times I hung out with a gun owner that looked like they could carry a full size 1911 in there front pocket, but choose to carry a J-frame instead. Well, now that I’ve been carrying a firearm for close to 20yrs, I’ve really started to feel the weight especially when I was working overtime and carrying 10 and 12hrs days. You really start to feel it at some point, the difference between 1lb and 3lbs of gun. I guess there is almost a predictable learning curve when it comes to carrying guns.
