I'M GOING TO GET A GUN! Subject description: just kidding, pepper spray or tazer.... |
|
Well, my car was vandalized this morning. The front driver's side panel was ripped apart and my tires slashed to bits. When I first saw it I got so pissed I wanted to smash someone's car in. I was like if I ever see anyone that I don't know in my driveway or in the act of vandalizing, hahah, they gonna get dealt with, my tazer or pepper spray in their face, muha!
I already reported it to the police. Do I really need to get a tazer or pepper spray to protect my car, well from any other future things that happen? or just install a alarm system for my car or house? Any thoughts welcomed.

What makes you think you'll be around to do something about it if it got vandalized again? (Assuming that they did it this time while you were asleep or at the store or something) Just sayin'!
Anyway, depending on who you're dealing with, pepper spray can be pretty ineffective. I hear tasers work pretty well, but the "good" ones that the police use aren't going to be the same ones you can buy from wal-mart or what not.
Sadly you're also going to have a hard time convincing any law officials that you were justified in shooting someone because they were trashing your car, so I guess a gun is out of the question too--although you should probably go ahead and get a gun anyway because they're fun to target shoot with! Plus it couldn't hurt, as long as you don't have irresponsible or emotionally unstable people and/or children in your house and have 600 bucks to spend.
Here's a neat little anecdotal story on taser vs. pepper spray: http://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/tasers_vs_pepper_spray_evaluation_of_police_weapons.htm
To sum it up in case you don't feel like reading: Tasers will completely incapacitate anyone for about 5-10 seconds. After that, they're free to do whatever they want if they're brave and hopped up on adrenaline.
Pepper spray lasts much much longer, but of course it's not incapacitating by any means, just disabling. If someone really wanted to they could still run at you and beat the crap out of you, just without very good vision.
Granted, your average "normal" person probably isn't going to stick around to get sprayed by pepper spray or tased and then keep on attacking. However, normal people don't normally trash cars for no reason. So really I'm no help.
Sorry about the car though

Bro all you need is something long and heavy like a bat or a crowbar or a golfclub, and just the right amount of rage.
