If you had to carry a self-defense weapon , what would be your choice?

Answer 1

A snub nose .38 caliber pistol. It may be a little pricey, but it is compact and easy to operate, I can see by your avatar that you are a woman, a snub nose .38 is small enough to fit in a purse, or inside a coat pocket.
Hope this helped!

Answer 2

A few vials of Acid.
It does a hella lot more damage & hurts a hella more than a hole in your hide & you don't even need a permit, even though its NOT leathal, you couldn't be charged with attempted murder if you were forced to use the stuff.
How would a thug explain getting splashed by the stuff to an emergency room nurse & doctor?

But otherwise, a grenade will do.
Most thugs don't want to go along for the ride when one goes off.
Remember what the bounty hunter used in Return of the Jedi (Carrie Fisher) when it was barganing for the reward on Chewbacca's furry head?

cheers babe!!!

Answer 3

I get asked that question ALOT!! I was a Combat Arms Instructor for about 8 years. It all depends if you are experienced with guns or not. For home protection, I would suggest a 12 gauge shotgun. Just the sound is EXTREMELY intimidating, plus, if someone breaks into your house in the night, you wake up all tired and confused, do you really think you are going to be able to see the assailant enough to accurately engage him/her? Plus, your senses are not going to be all there, I would rather point and shoot. Trust me, you're not gonna miss!! If you are experienced, the best "factory" man stopping round is 40 S&w. Just find a model you can handle and are comfortable with.

Answer 4

I like my brain. Groucho Marx once said, "As a child, I don't remember knocking someone over with my wit." But you don't need to physically harm someone to defend yourself. There's a book called "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense", which I read and recommend highly. Besides, now I'm in a wheelchair, and a gun would only give a bad guy an excuse to take it from me and shoot me with it.

Answer 5

Speaking as a former cop, for ladies, I'd suggest that you check out a compact 9mm or a 380 caliber. Both are good mid-sized guns that has damn good "stopping" power. Plus, if you live in right to carry states, get a ccw.

As for me I carry a glock 26

Answer 6

Chuck Norris

Answer 7

One of those phasers on Star Trek.

But seriously, what I would want to cary has not been invented yet, or perhaps simply not been perfected yet.

I would want to carry some sort of totally non-lethal stun weapon that could incapacitate a person, but do no lasting harm to them

Answer 8

Sig Sauer P226 9mm autoloading pistol and/or Heckler & Koch P8 9mm autoloading pistol, an ASP baton, a razor sharp Gerber mini covert Applegate knife, two M67 fragmentation hand grenades and if possible an Uzi 9mm Sub maching gun or Heckler & Koch 9mm MP5 SMG with retractable stock.

Answer 9

My fists. I've taken a few self-defense classes in the past, so I really wouldn't enjoy carrying around a bulky gun or knife everywhere.

Answer 10

The street sweeper. It's a fully automatic shotgun. A little impractical though. I'd go for either a 9 millimeter browning pistol or a .22 "equalizer" handgun.
