re: #3 Political Atheist
What is appropriate for a person who might have a serious stalker or robbery problem? Who gets CCW if anyone?
Ideally, I’d like to see the invention of an instantly-incapacitating non-lethal weapon for this purpose. Tasers seem to be the closest thing, though they’ve got issues of their own (and, as bitter irony would have it, aren’t non-lethal forms of self-defense like that heavily regulated or downright illegal in some parts?)
