Self Defense
Less than Lethal Self Defense Options
by Larry Betz, Prepared Not Paranoid Founder
An approach focused on equipping individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to handle various situations confidently and effectively, emphasizing practical preparation over fear or anxiety.
Not every problem is a "gun" problem; in fact, most problems aren't. When it comes to self-defense, having less-than-lethal options at hand can provide safer, more effective ways to protect ourselves without the commitment or consequences of lethal force. If you carry a firearm for self- defense, remember brandishing your gun can get you in trouble in many states.
