Comment on Bought a "less than lethal" launcher with pepper balls. Tried loading it. Ball exploded in the mag after I pat it into the launcher. Should have done better.

My heart goes out to you. That’s a really tough but ultimately good decision to put as much distance between you and a firearm. We need you, my friend.

Firearms aren’t for everyone which is where there are many decent alternatives.

Personally, I am a fan of home pepper gel spray. Unlike other things (like a pepper pistol, or taser, or knife), you can empty the canister on the offending person and if they manage to wrestle it from you somehow, it will be empty and they can’t do anything to you with it.
