I think we are a long long way from any civil unrest you would have to worry about in your home.

Driving to work or commuting on public transport could be an issue if there were things like 2020, many people had problems trying to use the roads during unauthorized disturbances. Recently part of an interstate was closed in CA. Most municipalities or local news orgs have places to keep abreast of current situations as they arise.

The best self defence classes have lots of info about avoiding bad situations. The best fight is the one that doesn't happen.

Worst case bear spray. Shoots 20 ft. No one gets killed. costs maybe $40.

Yes. Maybe the term is neutralize, but not kill... OneGrassRoot Feb 2025 #4
