I used a pair of black leather duty gloves to protect my hands when restraining a suicidal woman with a knife who had been slicing her wrists. I would recommend a pair from a police supply for security staff.
Do you have a self defense plan for your home, church or business in place? Then please read this recommendation to the end in order to make an assessment of what you either have in place or need to do!! If you are like most people you are relying upon your local police for that protection, maybe its time to reevaluate your choices before you regret that choice!
1st and the foremost reason to have your own protection is that criminals get guns anyway they can and they likely don't register them, so why should you be required to do so or have your guns taken away by the present federal administration's ANTI GUN sentiment in its attempt to eliminate the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution!
The 2nd reason you should have self protection is that you need to think seriously about whether the police will show up to protect you in a timely manner when you experience a potential life threatening situation! Take it from me as a former LEO I can attest to the fact that you need to protect yourself as the average time for police to respond to emergency calls for help in most residential areas of towns regularly exceeds ten to fifteen minutes meaning the likelihood of you being protected by police when you need it basically is zero!
3rd reason: That means you need to know the law in order to not be accused of breaking the law and you have a plan in place to protect you and your family! Some people rely upon guns only, even at businesses, so watch this video for robberies! https://youtu.be/C05g7O0a6h4?si=AWmX2atgFjKIFGNm
So that brings us to determine what kind of self defense weapon is best!
Although shotguns are considered
to be the best gun for home defense, it has its drawbacks therefore after extensive research I have arrived at the ideal solution to those weaknesses
Never the less, here are my choices for a lethal weapon for self defense The Ruger 5 shot JUDGE 45 wheel gun, loaded with 410 buckshot with 6 pellets each, if you empty your gun, you've shot 30 pellets in a tight group within 20 yards, that doesnt have the kick of a regular awkward bulky 12 gauge shotgun and still accurate within that range. While even a 9mm pistol that may have 20 individual shells in a clip, it would require you to shoot that many times to come close to 30 hits and to try to stay on target. Now what I am sharing is info both from my experience in Law Enforcement & Background info for you to review regarding a self defense situation, whether with a gun or not!
Here a few side tips for protecting yourselves:
1. Just Getting your opponent back on his heels and panicking gives you a huge advantage.
2. Distance. Managing space is crucial. One of the most devastating errors is to allow a suspicious character to get close enough to strike you suddenly.
If he can reach out with an arm or leg and touch you, you've allowed him to get too close, a Rookie mistake! And if you use a gun & shoot someone even a clear-cut case of self-defense -- you'll STILL go to jail (-- even if he's armed -- you will STILL have an advantage). Allow me to encourage alternatives, I'm talking about Pepper Spray, Even bear spray works! In a pinch almost any spray will work, Lysol has a strong stream, even Mosquitoe spray, both are flamable & can be effectively sprayed or used in combination with a lighter, with a flame thrower effect!
Now hear me out on this, because these sprays, like pepper spray...
1. Gives you the element of surprise. You see, they dont expect you having anything, with them attacking you)...
2. Defensive Sprays allows plenty of distance to keep you out of his reach.
Again... distance is key.
One blast in the eyes and nose can instantly strip away his capability to continue the fight -- even if he's armed with a gun or a knife.
Another plus is that Defensive Spray is a non-lethal option. Remember, the legal ramifications for using defensive sprays on a bad guy are minimal.
Not so with a gun or a knife.
There are a number of different options available --
1. Home or business. know where its at so you're never digging around through drawers during a breakin or a burglary.
2. Automobile. Your car or truck should be a primary place where you keep a defense spray. Road rage is common. So are creeps who follow your girlfriend or wife. So make sure you've at least got one cannister in center console ot clipped to the visor.
Carry in your car.
3. On foot. City streets are rife with criminal scum, making something as simple as walking to your car at night a hazardous activity. Having a small canister that can clip to a keychain or purse is a smart idea. Keychain size.
4. Crowd Control. There may come a time when you need an industrial-sized canister to handle a crowd of rioters or an angry mob. Unfortunately, today it's not uncommon for bands of angry illegals to target an innocent victim for their troubles. (It's all your fault they don't have a new car). But here's a way to handle that -- without killing anyone.
Get yourself a 9oz canister that particularly lasts a long time, hefty, and capable of keeping a mob away from you.
Okay... defense sprays may not be the 'miracle cure' for everything in self-defense -- but it's a powerful option to stop someone in their tracks so you can either finish the fight or escape. When you continue through my telegram site, you will see the item I recommend and use, nonlethal that helps keep you from being arrested, from a company called Byrna, legal in all 50 states! And in a street fight, it won't get much better than that. Stay Safe! Check them out, there are local companys who carry them, here's their site to look up at byrna.com Over the years I've learned to use alternative weapons and even make my own self defense equipment and you can too! For example people should also learn how to make a CLAVE with CONDUIT PVC with a lanyard that extends your hand to hand reach and learn how to use it! When you VISIT MY telegram SelfDefenseEquipment site: @HEDTKEINSTITUTE I show you how to make one and do that for FREE at PIN#88. You can purchase the needed elements at a hardware store. May the Lord Bless You and if someone hasn't told you this yet today, JESUS LOVES YOU!
So, if a "billy club" was illegal, where is the fine line between that and a walking stick or digging stick? Is there a material difference, or only a semantic difference?
It came down to intent. What was the intent of the person to have the baseball bat with them? I don’t think you could ever make a walking stick work though. It was a foolish law to begin with.
There goes the neighborhood.
I assume this also includes ASP expanding batons also?
It should. Read the link to the case decision. The judge breaks it down a little bit more.

Thanks for your love to Jesus and the way you help church security teams

Folks, As a former LEO, I recommend everyone in your family and friends learn how to protect yourselves and to get a nonlethal BYRNA like I have!!! From my own experience with rifles, shotguns and pistols, you should read this article about the pros and cons of both handguns and a shotgun here: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/blog/shotguns-and-handguns-comparing-effective-range-for-home-defense/

Great article.
This will come as good news for our church security team for a number of reasons.
Thanks Keith for all you do. Blessings.
