Well buying guns here is not an option so food and water are our first concerns...as for defense and catching food we have to be more creative..lol
Quoting: pinkpixiexx Several aerosol cans of
wasp/hornet spray conveniently located throughout your dwelling will give you some protection and time to escape or reach a better weapon. They are better than pepper spray since pepper spray is in a fine mist or stream of liquid and could blow back at you.
Hornet spray comes out in a strong stream of foam and its range is from 15 to 20 feet, longer than pepper spray.
Aim for the bad guy's face. This stuff will temporarily blind them and requires medical assistance. While they are screaming and jerking around blinded you can either run away or hit them with a skillet & tie them up.
The nice thing (for you) about this stuff aside from its effectiveness is
IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A WEAPON. Says so right on the can. You can explain away having several cans by claiming there's wasps coming in through the window, air vents or whatever and that you or someone in your household is allergic to them.
I have cans in the bedroom, bathroom, and near exterior doors. You could also carry a can in a car or in a large purse. Cost here is about $5 per can.
