What is the "Run, Hide, Fight" concept in self-defense?

"Run, Hide, Fight" is a widely recognized strategy during dangerous situations like active shooter incidents. First, you should run if you can safely escape. If escape is not possible, find a place to hide and remain quiet. As a last resort, fight to defend yourself using any tools or objects available, including self-defense weapons.

Where and when should I use a self-defense weapon?

Self-defense weapons should only be used when you are in immediate danger and cannot safely escape or de-escalate the situation. Always prioritize running or hiding first. If fighting becomes necessary, aim to neutralize the threat and get to safety.

Can I carry a self-defense weapon in public?

Yes, in most cases you can carry non-lethal self-defense weapons like the Byrna SD. However, local laws vary, so it's important to check the regulations in your city or state before carrying any self-defense tool in public.

Should I hurt someone if I use a self-defense weapon?

The goal of using a self-defense weapon is not to cause harm but to stop a threat and protect yourself. Self-defense tools like the Byrna SD are designed to incapacitate an attacker temporarily, giving you time to escape safely. Always act responsibly and avoid using excessive force.

What’s the difference between lethal and non/less-lethal self-defense tools?

Lethal weapons, like firearms, can cause permanent harm or death, while non/less-lethal weapons, such as the Byrna SD, aim to incapacitate an attacker without causing fatal injuries. Non/less-lethal tools provide a safer option for personal defense, especially in public or crowded areas.

Do I need to practice using my self-defense weapon?

Yes, it’s highly recommended to practice using your self-defense tool so you’re comfortable and confident if you ever need to use it. Wukong Defense offers guides and tutorials on how to use products like the Byrna SD properly and safely.
