    things are a little bit different here for me... I of course have a concealed carry permit, and the right to carry anywhere I go but here in MA people are super "liberal minded" so with the "duty to retreat" law and no "Stand your ground law" and the fact that if you pull out your firearm in this state it better be because you're about to be murdered or you'll be the one going to prison fur 20 years to life.... the need for a less than lethal option is definitely something I have thought of..

    as of right now I have a Kimber pepper blaster,.its a double charge pepper spray gun capable of shooting 2 separate charges at approx. 90mph at a range of 20FT....here's a picture Attachment 153435

    unfortunately in Massachusetts it's illegal for anybody other than law enforcement to carry a Taser lol makes lots of sense, I have a class A unrestricted license to carry, yet it's illegal to carry a Taser which is non lethal haha.... so the best alternative I have is the pepper spray gun...

    I did find a website a few months ago that listed by state, what is legal to possess and what is not with regards to Tasers...here's the link

    let me know what your thoughts are, and if you're lucky enough to live in a state that allows it ; )

    Tasers promoted and sold to Canadian police departments as a "non lethal" alternative to pistols have proven to be lethal in some cases. I doubt that there is a 100% "non lethal" taser. Just saying they are not totally without risk in the lethality department but they are an alternative.
