DONT USE A POLICE BATON

For those who live in areas where firearms are not an option and those that are smart enough to have a back up.

People I don't want to shoot? :?: :lol:


so, you want to shoot an unarmed person who approaches you and tries to take your supplies or simply refuses to get out of the way or leave your camp?

You apparently missed the sarcasm. There's also want to shoot vs need to shoot and would shoot.

Hard to answer a vague hypothetical, but anyone who'd attempt to force entry to an armed perimeter is either unstable or a threat. So yes, if they plan to steal, being armed or not is irrelevant. Force will escalate until they stop, and then a bit more to prevent repetition. An unarmed lunatic, or a zombie, requires lethal force.

To turn a mad libs post into a debate on the relative appropriateness of letehal force vis a vis unarmed threats in a mythical zombieapocalypse.....

OR to force branches into a wood chipper. You draw back a police stump.


....or as a less lethal alternative to shooting somebody. Trust me, a jury would still call it a lethal weapon.

Well, wait, when it comes to police batons, it's pretty important to draw that line isn't it?

OT:...to line your pockets. (Noone will believe your just glad to see them...)

Because you'd get nailed with a $50,000.00 per day per violation fine for venting H/CFC's. On the other hand, there's a $10,000.00 bounty for reporting it, and I'm required to if I want to keep my license, so feel free to do it near me- I can use the money! :D
