Thank you for the Bear Spray advice. I just went to the website and bought one for my daughter, who is a realtor and refuses to carry a gun, even though she goes out into the country and remote parts of town with total strangers and has had at least one close call. Maybe she’ll be willing to blast them with the bear spray. Amazing what one can learn on FR!
the guy i know in my office building was a prosecutor and went to a good state law school. Super guy. He said it was good to have because if you spray someone you may have less problems versus shooting someone. It all depends on your state law.
Florida’s law used to be if your life was at threat and you had a CCW license you could shoot to kill. If the bad were retreating, you had to back off. Oddly if someone is attacking another person - you can shoot them.
The Castle Doctrine in most states says if the bad guy is in your home - you can shoot them. The joke is if you shoot em outside make sure to drag the body back into your home. This is not a funny subject but people need to be prepared to defend themselves.
I am glad this info helped you. Your daughter needs to be prepared to use it. There are a lot of bad people out there (and many are in the Senate). ;-)
