Wow, you’re going to argue that it’s superior to have only one option to deter a threat.
Yes, ridiculous.
There are MANY threats...to think pepper spray or a tazer is sufficient in a LIFE & DEATH situation is ridiculous. If you choose to stake your life or the life of your family on such nonsense, have at it. I choose otherwise.
If the threat is not life or death, my training instructs me to keep my weapon hidden.
I think he’s saying that you should never bring pepper spray to a gun fight. And since you never know when you may be in a gun fight, you may want to bring a gun. And if you read the history of Zimmerman and the neighborhood he was in, this case suddenly gets clarity.
Fact is, unless it can be proven that zimmerman roughed himself up, only a public lynching would get him punished for anything. Even the original callers to 911 that saw what was happening BEFORE the gunshot put Martin on top and Zimmerman screaming for help.
Zimmerman may have brought it on by not being prudent, but based on the evidence I’ve seen, it was a self defense shooting.
No, you are wrong.
One, nobody is going to make you argue that in court.
Two, from your legal standpoint it IS superior because no attorney coming after you can make an issue of why you chose your gun over pepper spray. Why didn’t you try the non-lethal stuff first? Why didn’t you try multiple times? You really just wanted to murder a person with your gun.
You can listen and take the advice given in the CCW classes or you can do what you think is right. You want to make yourself a bigger legal target that they may convince a jury you had other lesser force options you deliberately overlooked and went right for your wicked nasty lethal gun, you feel free.
