Well, not self defense really but.
I worked as a bouncer at a VERY large bar (1,200 people a night) for about a year and a half. My prefered take down method when dealing with anyone more than half of my size who was being roudy was:
- Surefire light activated into eyes (amazingly affective in a dark club atmosphere)
- Right hand to throat
- right foot/leg behind drunks' closest foot/leg
- take-down to floor
I like the idea of having the light off of the gun. It then becomes it's own weapon in a way. Just my 2 cents ::Shrug::
