    I'm sure that's what the US Marshals told him the last time he called them to save him from a crooked local cop in some podunk backwoods town. :rolleyes:

    Great suggestions and I haven’t made any purchases yet and will likely go with several different options. Also looking at stun guns and crossbows. I’ll still have my 9mm but more options is always better in my mind.

    Crossbow? Why not just get a pump action loaded with beanbags/pepper balls etc?

    Good suggestion. I like the quietness/versatility of a crossbow and it can potentially be used to pop a tire of an aggressor to ensure they cannot pursue.

    Tell me you haven't read the thread without saying "I haven't read the thread"!

    They're not legal to use on people and they're not effective on humans.
