answer:Maybe, but I want an attacker / invader to be incapacitated, not just “hurt” (and pissed off). So my current home (and office, and car) defensive weapon of choice is… wasp spray. It has a range of up to 27’, fires a traceable stream, and is non-lethal, non-penetrating. That way, I don’t have to be concerned that I’m about to fire a life-or-death shot in the dark; the worst I will do is temporarily blind someone and perhaps cause some breathing difficulty – which is my aim, in this case. If I shoot a friend by mistake, then all I have to do later is apologize, and not attend a funeral and a grand jury hearing. The bonus is that even in my nominally weapons-free office, I can keep the can sitting on my desk, where it elicits questions from approximately one or two people per year.
