So I got in an argument with my brother in law the other day about this. We were talking about if for some reason you only have enough room to carry the bare minimum meaning you can't carry a gun and a non lethal weapon, one or the other what would be best.

He was saying a non lethal weapon like mace would be more practical most of the time because although mace isn't always effective neither is a gun and they'll be a lot more issues if you use deadly force.

I was saying that a lethal weapon would be better because if I couldn't handle someone attacking me with my fists what good would a non lethal weapon do?

So my question is if you can have only a lethal weapon or a non lethal weapon for most situations which would you choose?
