Get one of these. If you pull this out they will immediately know they are dealing with a dangerous lunatic.

Anyone know if an Orion brand flare gun (the only one you can legally buy and ship to most places off Amazon) would be effective for self defense? Or really any flare gun?

Alledgedly you can modify one to fire a shotgun shell but you will probably blow your hand off, if you land the flare right in the face maybe.

The phosphorus does burn bright enough to potentially disorient someone (so yeah look away as if tossing a flashbang) but the biggest threat to both the assailant and yourself is fire. Something nearby could ignite and depending on what you hit and if it sticks to the persons clothes they could potentially ignite somebody.... thought tbh even I think that would be going too far. Especially since depending on where you live and if castle doctrine is practiced immolating someone to death even in self defense still constitutes as murder.


So yeah maybe it'd be best to have but not aim directly at someone unless it's absolutely necessary, otherwise stick to shooting one in the air and have a more standard method of anti personal on hand.

Can't go wrong with one of these. A pistol would be easier but for some reason shotguns have a bigger scare factor than any other gun.

Kick them in the balls
Then run like hell.

Run away. Best form of self defence in the world. Can't get hurt if you don't fight anyone.
