After watching the latest Doomsday Prepper episode I realized that many of the people on that show have tons of guns and ammunition but not many have Non-lethal options. That's a problem.
In a heightened state of alert during a crisis, it's likely the "preppers" adrenalin will be flowing! The biggest mistake I think anyone can make is prematurely using lethal force. Although in many "Preppers" minds any crisis could lead to social disorder, it may not unfold that way. If you shoot someone and things are back to normal anytime soon your actions will be held against you. If you've been around fire arms you've likely heard that most confrontations end in the first 2 shots from a fire arm. Naturally people pull back and move on to easier targets in most cases. You run from gun fire not towards it. Aside from defending from an all out siege you should consider where your money is best spent and have a balanced plan of lethal and non-lethal options.
Here are some thoughts on non-lethal options. After all I will always deter confrontation first and quickly escalate if necessary. These tools could be used to warn and deter someone to move on to an easier target.
1. Mega Phone - Use loud siren mode to confuse, distract and verbalize warnings and threats.
(Military uses a high power directional speaker to direct deafening, piercing sound at pirates in the ocean)
2. Bear Spray (high potency pepper spray) - Shoots up to 15 Feet away - See it HERE
3. Paint Ball Gun - Turn air pressure up to maximum setting and in full automatic mode for Shock & Awe of a would be attacker.
4. Pepper filled Airgun balls - This is a paint ball filled with pepper spray used by police. See it HERE
7. AT NIGHT - High power spot light to blind attacker. HERE
Think of the consequences before you attempt to take someones life in a crisis!
If you know of other Non-lethal options please post them in the comments.
