What are the ideas on what to carry/use when deadly force is not necessary/permitted?
Many members carry knives and/or batons but those are also considered deadly force in many jurisdictions.
Pepper spray of some sort would be the obvious choice. Are there other options?
Those of us who CCW are familiar with when deadly force is permitted but when is "less than deadly" force permitted? Is there any legal guidelines for when something like pepper spray can be used?
Or are these things just a lesser weapon that some people use when they should have used a gun?
