Choosing The Best Home Defense Weapon (Besides Guns)

Congratulations, you just won the crime victim lottery and are the victim of a

home

invasion. People attack you in your house. What are you going to use to defend yourself? What type of

weapon

would you use in this video that we are going to talk about? defensive

weapon

ry and don't worry, I'm not going to just tell you that the answer is a gun and you're probably screwed anyway, that's the answer, but I'm also going to cover things that you know besides

guns

, so yeah. Absolutely, a gun is the

best

weapon for

home

defense

, but it has to be a weapon that you are proficient with and, if you're serious, it has to have a flashlight attached.

This is a valkyrie pl pro that we just did a review. In it, I will link that they will be having a flash sale soon. You can get these up to 40 off, but with any weapon you have to be proficient and it needs a light, that's a must. Now no matter what your reasoning maybe a firearm isn't right for you maybe you don't have access to one either legally or morally maybe you don't want one maybe you can't afford one in this video I'm going to cover some self

defense

weapons without weapons and also some common improvised weapons in the home that you could use in a home invasion or home self defense scenario, so now let's do a thought experiment right now, comment below where you are, and in what room of your house. house you're in or where you are, wherever you are and what would you use as a weapon if you were attacked right now, not weapons because that's too obvious and I know you're all six foot four and you're kidnapped and you're a black belt in three different things. , but pretend you are not improvised weaponry or unplanned weaponry other than a firearm.

What would you use? How would you use it? A big problem with

guns

is that they actually have to be on you. to carry it for it to be effective a lot of people take something like this and put it next to the door, you know, if it's next to the door, same with the old baseball bat, whatever your weapon is, it has to be nearby of you. If it's not up to you when it happens, you can't set it up very quickly or the bad guy will end up between you and your gun, that won't work.

This is an excellent example. I've been in a lot of houses where Some guys took one of these guys right here or sometimes both of them and put them in the corner by the front door and that's their plan, their home defense plan, that's not really a good plan because we look at the possible scenarios where the bad guy is at the door but hasn't come in yet, but you know he's there, so you go to the door where the bad guy is and then you have this big, unwieldy thing that then you have to prepare to use it as a weapon, right? will go down that path and that's the other thing we talked about that is difficult to deal with and I'm not going to go into morality and legality too much, the baseball bat by the front door is one of the least thought of things in all defense of home or self defense because this thing that I want you to find comes into your house, if you use a baseball bat for self defense, people take a baseball bat in their hands and they just think that they are about to ruin someone and I think that I'm going to make a video on self-defense with baseball bats because I actually have a lot to say about it, but go home and tell me how many places, unless you're super rich and have a big At home I have like two places where I can stand up in my house and not get smashed with a baseball bat, yeah you could choke, uh, you could go over your head in a lot of places or you could do the old WWE, I really don't want to hit. you with the bat, so you do like this, but we have a two-handed weapon and we may have to pretend to open doors or pick up our children or something like that.

A one-handed weapon will generally be better now that I say that. And obviously I've shown that I think two-handed weapons are effective and good to use, but those that definitely work with purpose, maybe we're talking to people who live in other countries or who for some reason don't have weapons. We need to talk about the kinds of things people think they should take and how they might come into play. I think a one-handed weapon is really important if your self-defense plan involves a weapon that you should have practiced with. To at least swing it and hit some people with it, a lot of people have crazy ideas in their heads about what they would do in self-defense and they don't think about how hard it is to swing like that, I think, uh, we.

You're getting close to the neighborhood with this and now you have to know how to hit with these too. If you're a carpenter, swinging a hammer all the time, you'd probably be, Batman pajamas, was one of them. Now where are you going to keep it you have to have it accessible it's going to be you know when when the door breaks down how you're going to get to it everything has to be thought out everything has to be visualized and practiced if you really hope to use any of this because it's not realistic to think that of You're suddenly going to put it into action because I'm telling you that when that door opens, most people do just that, even the people who think they won.

You don't start turning, you start realizing that retraction and handling is really important and then we have to start doing it. You know, a specific layout like this is a little bit faster. I think there is one thing you should definitely consider. is when a person moves to take it or defend you and starts hitting here, what kind of damage is it going to do, what kind of incapacitation is it going to do and something like this, I would definitely swing this and someone would put their hands or arms. lift it up or try to take it off uh that's not going to feel good but this isn't the most manageable thing I mean you could choke on it and lose a little bit of power or you could keep your hand. at the end and then retract it and keep that thing going, especially if you get tangled up with someone, you have to look different, you have to be able to do something different with it, you know and have confidence that when someone grabs you and tries to take it off of you, you still you can hurt them, so I think even if you're not going to carry a firearm when you choose your home defense weapon, I think it should be a real specially designed weapon, but improvised weapons are great too. but if you're going to improvise weapons or even if you're going to use airplane weapons, you have to have one basically in every room unless you're carrying it on you, let's talk about improvised weapons in the kitchen when you think of the kitchen, what do you immediately think of? you think about one of these guys kitchen knife oh my gosh I would just grab a kitchen knife that guy comes in I get one of these and you do what are you going to do with it? debra deborah what are you going to do with this hey kyle what are you going to do with this are you going to stick this in a person i don't think you really are i don't think you can do that i don't think you could dare to stick this in a person and how sharp They are your kitchen knives.

Have you ever nailed it to something? Have you ever tried to do that? I think I personally would feel better just being unarmed than this. I'm not a fan of edged weapons, go ahead and comment below how stupid I am. I don't think edged weapons are really for self-defense. I don't even think it's a thing. I don't think knives are self-defense. tools, I don't think they are effective self defense weapons, the only use I see for a knife is if a person is already on top of me and I'm already a little bit on top and I need to use that knife to get myself where I am.

Ya, if I'm using a knife, if you're going to cut off someone's hands and arms, taking a final blow with a knife is not as easy as it seems, I actually think this, I'd probably rather have this than this. I'm going to laugh, but you know? The funny thing is that I even think about these things a lot. I even know that this is not the grip I would use because it is too unwieldy. It is more difficult to recover. I know I would go. Thumb there and that's the point of self defense weapons. I know that's how I would use them.

I'm sorry. I have thought about this. This is how you would use a pot or pan. Thumb it. it drowns the thumb inside to be able to handle it faster. I can defend myself if it has a sharp object. I can put it between us. I can hit him with it. I can hit him with it. So when it comes to improvised weapons. You should be thinking about these things in terms of specially designed self defense tools and weapons and things that were made for that for home defense. You know, I've tried all kinds of things.

There are just a couple of things that come to mind. they're out, they're very unreliable, I guess I don't know exactly what it is, I think they work like 50 of the time at most, they're just not reliable and then after the person finishes getting the taser, you still have to deal with that person I prefer things that I really like completely disable at least partially disable someone you're going to laugh at uh but obviously I think a flashlight is super important the m2r pro warrior is my go-to like uh it's in my armor there's one al side of my bed, so this is my light and I feel safe using it, you know, my hands for self defense.

I like having an empty hand. I like to have this hand free to be able to grab or move my family or open. doors or do anything and this is a pretty strong weapon and it's a blinding amount of light. This is also part of that flash sale. It's in this monstrosity of a color combination. I'll link it below, but the only other thing outside of everything else. that I've tried, in fact I think this is a pretty good use for the pepper gun. I'll link the review we did in this one, it comes out in a pretty long sequence and it's done, almost everyone will say when some people, it doesn't work well, those people will probably attack you anyway.

This works in a high percentage of people and works very well and is not lethal. You have to deal with some of the cross contamination if you then fight the person, but other than that, you'll have to find your thing and now you know that people are probably still upset about the edged weapon. I mean, there are knives specially designed to hurt people and I don't. saying you can't hurt someone with one of them, but to me edged weapons, this is a fun little tool, this guy here, I don't think you can get this anymore, but this is both an impact tool and a edged tool and if that hits the forearm or the hand or whatever, uh, they made this guy here, this is like the great orcs from Lord of the Rings in Uruguay, there are great orcs, this is like They had a knife, that's what they would carry, but this.

It's actually a breaching tool, it's actually thick like a crowbar, so you know maybe I'd hit someone with that, but I think it's a one-handed operation on the inside, I think two feet or less, um oh, about the baseball bat, I lied, I actually think The baseball bat for self defense or home defense may be viable, but I think it has to be, you know, I think two feet or below something that you can operate. with one hand and pull back very quickly, I think it's a little more reasonable than the venerable old Louisville hitter, you just have to be able to do it in a house because, uh, you shouldn't leave your house to defend it, let's talk More than that, I'll think I'll go.

Not only am I going to do something on baseball bats for self defense, both small and large, and self defense against baseball bats, I think I want to do more home invasion stuff where we talk about the actual strategy and tactics, but also on When it comes to their choice of weapon, you need to do it ahead of time, you don't want to try to do it right then, so you need to play around with your house and figure out if you could use this thing, this won't work, you know some guys. He even uses just the ax handle, which I still think is too big and unwieldy, and I know you think you're like a level eight dwarf barbarian and know all kinds of cool ways you can use this thing, plus, as you know. like that, but those are all just ways to use it, despite the disadvantage, they don't create inherent advantages: being able to make short attacks with a weapon that is essentially a liability rather than an asset once the initial attack is made. fails or fails to stop them, they're going to grab this and snatch it out of your hands and it's just the way I don't like a two-handed weapon other than a firearm for home defense or even self-defense. , this is the fast hawk and this guy is pretty badass, not only is he big enough to deal damage, he can go in any direction and he's fast, you can use that fast sucker and of course you can throw him, which if you throw a tomahawk into a home invader I don't care what happens after that man you and your hero win in my book
