Honestly bright light in the face is pretty fantastic nonlethal self-defense. Most people just can't push through a bright light in the face for some reason, you just do the full-body flinch and are stuck there. Gives you a bit of time to get to your pepper spray or baton or Grenade Launcher or whatever you use

Well that $#@$ing escalated quickly.

Is own a grenade launcher for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four heathans break into me house. "Have at 'em lads" As I grab me scrumpeh and grenade launcher. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Quikie laucher on the second man, miss im entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the enemy spy. I have to resort to the loose canon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with cannonball, "Not one of yas going to survive this!" the double donk gibs two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Grab me bottle o' scrumpeh and charge the last terrified dadie prancin' with a head full of eyeballs. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular glass wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

I have a tiny 4k lumen flashlight with a "defense strobe" mode. Just max brightness really disorienting. I could totally see it working

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

Mine is like 800 lumens and has a blink mode that I have to cycle through to turn off. Even that is annoying AF.
