Non Lethal Self Protection Advice

another note, and not a pleasant one to think about...

If your MiL is close enough for a baton/contact stun gun/etc.... it is far too close. Depending on physical abilities of the aggressor and the victim, within 21 feet is the danger zone, and that is less than you think. Use the police and the justice system for every possible transgression to build a case, even the little stuff, it could help them in the future as being a "reluctant participant" should any violence take place. De-escalation of any possible situation would be the proper action, even if it hampers your families quality of life for a short time, because the alternatives, if this neighbor is mentally unstable, are not acceptable.

Tranquilizer Gun

The problem with the non lethal options are that they are generally single shot and/or require you to get too close to their intended target. This person is a rabid animal and there is only one solution; deadly force. If your MIL would feel better about it, have her get a 28 ga shotgun and use that instead of the 12 ga. This will stop the target and would be considered to be more survivable. A well trained personal protection dog would be another option. German shepards or Bouviers are the more stable breeds for this purpose.

Id shoot the fuker or get him on the ground with some pepper spray and break his knee caps with a baseball bat.

And be convicted of assault with a deadly weapon? Once someone is no longer a threat continuing to assualt the individual is a crime. Just sayin.

Not gonna stay in BP for long with that idea.

I would go for a nice 8 shot pump shot gun using the bean bags in the shells; less then lethal(good knock down power) and still have the option of replacing the last 2 shells with something more lethal.

It is good to remember that what will work on a normal person, might not have any effect on someone with mental disorders.

I will keep your family in prayer.
