Protect yourself from a home invasion
Some advice at Popular Mechanics. I note with some pleasure that they say to keep your gun and flashlight handy. That’s winning.

I particularly like how they tell you to go practice, and learn about your local gun laws. Basically the whole thing tells you the truth: that the best way to protect yourself during a home invasion is by shooting the invaders.
Looking forward to the anti-gunners / potential home invaders who will surely arrive at any minute to complain that you shouldn’t defend yourself.

Popular Mechanics has never been against guns, as far as I’m aware. I remember them having a couple cover stories back in the 90’s about possible new firearms tech that people were developing.

I like the first comment, apparently by a high school student.

I like how, in the comments, the academic (with his university identified and full name) suggests people use wasp spray. He might as well have said, “Attention home invaders – please, break into my home, and wear goggles in case I somehow manage to actually hit you in the eyes with my wasp spray.” Because an armed robber with a gun is clearly no match against a can of Raid.

And doesn’t he know that using wasp spray in a manner inconsistent with its labeling is a violation of federal law?

Wasp spray for self defense is a bad idea. It is a myth! Stick with the Pepper Spray. Wasp spray is unproven and has never been tested on humans. Wasp Spray will NOT work on those who cannot feel pain i.e. drugs or alcohol. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory which will cause the eyes to slam shut no matter the situation. That’s why over 40,000 law enforcement agencies carry it nationwide and even the smallest canisters will fire 10 ft while the larger canisters will fire 25 to 30 ft.
