Yeah, there is actually such a thing as tactical flashlights that cause pain and even burns.I also have much smaller lighter and brighter led flashlights. My dog is very small, and not scary.
If I'm close enough to spray someone in the eyes, I'll jam my fingers in them.
Why not? Is that outlawed too?
Remember that globohomo clown world tries to ban everything good and useful. The government of NZ is pretty far down the drain.
The flashlight can also be utilized as an improvised Kubotan tool, and gripped as a striking aid.
They apparently expect you to just get beated, robbed, raped, and/or killed. Fighting back would not be polite or nice.
But it probably would be racist.
Don't forget sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, islamophobic transphobic, intolerant, and patriarchal.
They expect everyone to trust the police to do all that defending for them.
There might be legal consequences for using a laser, as it may cause permanent eye damage.
Something like the Fenix TK30 was my thought. It's a very bright focused beam, not exactly a laser, but it could temporarily blind or disable a person especially at night.
Maybe, next time you Kiwis have self-defense question, you should also make allowed list.
It’s really easy to make!
