Taser, bean-bag gun, rubber bullets — there are lots of non-lethal options.
None of those produce lasting results. None of those will deter the pack.
Feel free. I'll stick to guaranteed fight stoppers. I'll live. You won't.
Personal taser a no no in Pa. Bullets OK!
sorry freedumb2003,
My Kimber doesn’t hold any freaken “rubber bullets”. Only .45’s with full metal jackets
And I can guarantee you if I was somewhere and a mob of thugs came at me for a beating I would not go looking for any bean bags either.
yea but they dont quite get the message across,,,,,,,Sorry
Why?
“Taser, bean-bag gun, rubber bullets — there are lots of non-lethal options.”
Pretty dumb, freedumb.
Non-lethal often is lethat. Or it is non-effective.
Out of curiosity, why bother with ‘less than lethal’ munitions? Fear of LETHAL munitions will stop far more rioters for a longer period than actual use of ‘less than lethal’. Rubber bullets hurt alot. True. Pain fades and a POd amped up, drug fueled thug will barely be slowed unless the LTL rounds hit him in a couple specific areas.
Rioters fearing that the public can and will open fire on them with copper jacketed lead will go a lot farther to stop them before they start because of the simple fact that a mere handful of rioters are hardcore types. Most are there for the thrill and to boost their street cred.
Live ammo quickly returns them to the meek little animals they are without crowds backing them. LTL ammo? Not so much.
The time tested of “Making an example” of one or two people will eliminate most subsequent violence. From ancient Rome onwards, things like ‘decimation’ get the desired compliance from the masses. The non violent solution to all this is for the rioters to not riot, thugs to remain peaceful and wannabees to stay the hell away from their ‘more brawn than brains’ street leaders. No stupidity on their part, no bang bang on ours. Simple.
Fear works.
