A gun. Just shoot ‘em a little.
Yes, a shotgun. You can apologize to your husband afterward.
Anyway, he doesn’t sound like the guy who is going to protect you.
A set of fast feet. Feet, that can outrun a projectile traveling say, in the access of a thousand feet a second. Other than that, the list gets short.
Idealist are loud and proud until reality backs its self up into their own drive way... then it’s... Hang on a minute...
Just buy a gun lady. What’s he gonna do? complain? Whine? He’s a GREAT BIG PUSSY, and because he is you can do what you NEED to protect yourself (and his big baby butt) without worrying about the consequences.

Pacifist,,,?
I have problems with Men that
Won’t face
Reality.
The Reality of Protecting Life is one responsibility of being a Man.
Pacifist, No.
Frightened Little Child, yes.
Pacifists call 911 and ask for pacifist police.
Someone cutting your throat will turn your other cheek for you.
Some people just born to be victims.
Hit the gym and buy a gun. You’ll feel better, and as he will probably have a nervous breakdown over the gun he might also have a change of heart due to the gym.
Not all people are the same. A study done after WW II (by US General Sam Marshall) showed that many US soldiers were hesitant to fire on the enemy for moral reasons. These men were not cowards or sissies by any means.
Better that we should actually try to answer the question the article posed. For relatives of mine who will not - or for physical reasons cannot - deal with a gun, I recommend strong doors and Fox pepper spray. I don't mock them.
Simple!
Shotgun + rock salt.
Shotgun + fine bird shot.
After these two fail to stop your attacker, Shotgun + buttstroke.
Next, your are too late to use the buckshot loads.
I wouldn’t let my pacifist husband boss me around like that. This woman needs to do what she thinks needs to be done and to heck with hubby. Plus, he sounds like a liberal moron, I didn’t think you had those in the backwoods.
Pacifists come in three flavors...
1. Delusional people who think that if you don’t harm anyone (or anything} they won’t harm you.
2. Guilt ridden, self hating, suicidal imbeciles who have convinced themselves that the world would be much better without them and would be grateful if someone would put them out of their miseries. (BTW - I agree the world would be better without them).
3. Hypocrites, who like to feel morally superior, but gladly call the armed police at the first sign of danger.
This is simplicity itself. Carry a gun, and if you feel threatened, kill your attacker. Because what will Mr. Pacifist do? Hit you? It is a lesser version of the adage that “It is better to be tried by twelve, than carried by six.”
If he would threaten to divorce you if you killed someone who intended to kill you, you should know right now that marriage also ends with death, the old “until death do you part” clause.
That you will actually have to *hide* your gun from your husband is a nuisance, because if he finds it, he will either steal it away or disable it in some way. But the discretion of having a “secret” gun should actually encourage you to hide it better and carry it more often.
And to keep spares around. Both gun and ammunition.
He impresses me as a scared person. Someone who relies exclusively on ‘flight’ to protect himself. It must be hellish to live that way.
Call 911, I hear they have great chalk artists.
The guy is in a state of denial. Find yourself another fish.
A thick leather cleric collar might help.
RUSTYGUNNER WROTE:
@LBS Thats a tough one. Im not terribly sympathetic to DHs position, both because it devalues your lives to place them on an equal footing with a predator who would harm or kill you, and because it hamstrings the ability of a loved one to fend off the attack. I have nothing against pacifists, mind you. Pacifists are great people, you meet them in some of the nicest mass graves in the world. I do object, however, to the mindset that can say, I love you, but I love your attacker more, and if that attacker forces a choice between your life and his, I choose his.
Sorry if thats harsh, but thats what he is saying, even if he doesnt realize it.
First, learn to spit hard.
Second, learn to enjoy being raped, robbed or killed.
Because spitting hard doesn’t work very well.
