self-defense? I've read a news article saying that a man shot his wife to deaf with a 22 rifle and he clamed that it was all in a act of self defense because his wife was chasing him around the house with a knife. But that man shot his wife over 8 times with the rifle witch only takes six rounds of bullets to reload. Did this man have the right to say that this was all in the act of self-defense?

What style of self-defense would be best for someone with no experience? I'm not athletic or very flexible, but I'm hoping to learn some self defense. Is there one that will be able to give me some skill in the art, but will not be too demanding in the beginning? I've heard that most forms of self-defense require a minimum level of fitness in the beginning. Yes, I could carry a weapon, but that's not always possible in case of a attack. For example, a lot of places don't allow pepper spray.

I travel by air extensively, It would hinder my travels to depend solely on a firearm ;p. I do love the sense of humor, though!

Thank you everyone for your responses!

What do you think is the best self defense weapon? I am planning to make a gift and was thinking about buying any of self-defense weapons. I know that they are all designed to give you time to escape, but anyway, what is the best? Pepper spray doesn't look as a serious option, maybe a stun gun?

Should Japanese start building their self defense force? I don't know how strong the Japanese mililtary is but should they not start building their self defense force more rather than just depend on us going in and rescuing them? I heard they only spend about 1% of GDP in defense. Is it because of the treaty they signed in WW2 or they just figure we would come to their rescue and not spend the money? Or are their military really stronger than most people think?

What happens to a gun legally used in self-defense? I am curious based on some responses I read on a message board. Some people stated they would use the cheapest, most effective gun because it would be confiscated by law enforcement if used for self defense. I am not interested in whether they are correct or not, but I do wonder about their statement. What happens to a gun that is legally used in self-defense? Is it confiscated (forever, temporarily, at all?). Assume you have a concealed carry permit and had to shoot someone or fire a warning shot in self defense. Would your gun be taken? What if you used a gun legally in home defense? I know the law may vary by state and locality, but I am interested in hearing from law enforcement officers.

What are some possible weapons i could buy for self defense? Mace....I'm really iffy about guns. Idk Where would i go to get mace. Do they teach you how to use it?

I have a jumbo cannister, but I really do want to learn a martial art as well. :-)

What is the most practical and applicable martial art for modern day self-defense? I don't care about it being "fancy", I don't care about meditation, or character development, I just want to be better able to defend myself. Right now I was thinking of looking into Defendo(Bill Underwood's martial art that spun off of Combato, not the newer, unrelated one) or Emerson Combat Systems. If anyone more familiar with martial arts has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for something with emphasis on unarmed self-defense with the goal of knocking an aggressor(or aggressors) unconscious, gun and knife disarms, and improvised weapons.

How many people here have used their gun in self defense? I am trying to guage how many people have actually used their gun in an assault or home invasion situation in self defense. It seems that gun proponents often use this as a reason for owning a gun. Is it as common as they make it sound? This is not intended to be an argument for or against gun ownership. It is merely an empirical analysis on gun ownership in YahooAnswers.

What is the origin of & evidence to support the common self defense strategy of yelling "fire" when attacked? Many Self defense courses and teachers recommend calling out "fire" when attacked. As this is a potentially life or death situation, it is important to know what the evidence is, if any. What studies / experts or experiments support calling out "fire". Are they proven to be the best words to utter? And how do we know? Would "police!" be a better choice of words?

What are the appropriate or legal situations were a gun can be used for self defense? Say some person broke into my house at night . . . if I have a handgun, am I allowed to shoot them for self defense? What if I see some one trying to steal my car in a parking lot or at home? How do police tell the difference between some one killed on purpose by a gun, from self defense? For example person A is just walking along the street, then person B comes along and shoots person A and they die. Person B wanted to kill person A, but when police arrive person B could say "Oh well they were attacking me, I was defending myself". What happens then? I'm thinking of getting a gun for self defense but I want to know when I would need to use it and when not too. I know much of it is common sense but I want to know for sure.

What are some easy-to-make small, unnoticeable self defense items? Sometimes, after school, I walk across the road to where my mom works. I have a fairly small physical body, and, despite being present at a few classes of Taekwondo, am not very threatening at all. My school is in the more ritzy part of the big city, and I would like a how-to on how to make a small self-defense weapon that can fit in my purse/backpack/pocket.

Best gun for self defense that is not a handgun? If handguns were to be unlawful (like they used to be in DC), what kind of gun could possibly be used for self defense? In other words, what's the smallest gun that is not a "handgun" but which still might be used in a "defense mode"?

What is the best fighting style for self defense? I'm 5'10" and around 160lbs. So I'm not small, but not large.

If it's important I'm a Taosit.

How do I turn off my self-defense mechanisms? I had a difficult childhood with a personality disordered mother who later turned schizophrenic, and I developed Reactive Attachment Disorder as a child. Now I find it extremely difficult to open up to people and receive love, and I do not desire physical proximity so much as other people do. I haven't had a sexual relationship despite being in my twenties but I've felt unrequited romance a number of times and I really desire to develop emotionally warm relationships, but I somehow keep applying my self-defense mechanisms unwantedly - maybe because I'm so much used to them. I also have a very low level of emotional intelligence. How can I get a better control of my thoughts and emotions? How can I open up to people?

How to I get/write a waiver for my self defense class? I am going to be starting my own self defense/martial arts class soon and I was wondering where I get the injury waiver forms that state my students can't sue me if they stub their big toe while sparring, (or if I write them, how to do it). Please give me any information you have, including: personal experience, websites, etc. I am in the United States, in the southern part of the state of California. I don't need to know about third party legal issues, as many of you are saying, there is no protection from any attorney sueing me for one of my students kicking an old lady in the head, because it was me who taught him how to kick in the first place. I am not asking for "legal" advice, every martial arts studio must have all of its' students sign a liability waiver for the possibility of injuries being sustained while on the premises of the studio/school, this is normal. I merely need to know where to find these forms. Thank you all for your responses.

Self-Defense? What defense can be used when one assaults someone to protect a loved one? I have heard it called self-defense but I'm not sure that's right. In this particular case the attacker says he blacked out and cannot remember what happened. When the police arrived he, his pregnant lover, and the victim were the only ones in the house. His lover was unconscious after an alleged attack by the victim, the attacker entered the house, claims he saw the victim standing over his lover and cannot remember anything until the police arrived. Could you use a self-defense plea, or possibly a mental disease or defect plea? What defense would be more substantial and can you quote a case were this plea was used and successful? Also, the lover cannot remember anything beyond arriving at the house. She does not recall being attacked, although there are injuries. The police found that the victim in this case was the father of the baby and think that is possibly motive for the attacker. The attacker claims he had no knowledge on this fact until after he was arrested.

Can plastic bullets in a standard handgun be used for self-defense? What are the disadvantages of using plastic bullets in a handgun for self-defense? What is the effective range? Do they have any stopping power -- how much does it hurt to be shot with them? Joe, are you f-ing kidding me dude? What about the folks from VA Tech -- are you saying they had it coming because they didn't choose a safer school? If a man seeks to harm me, I intend to be prepared to face him; and if you happen to be present, you'll thank me. Fyi -- I don't mean home-defense, I'm talking bullets used in a gun for concealed carry. I know that they’d be pretty weak, but at close enough range it will still be sufficient to stun/disable an opponent, right? What kind of range would this be?

Is the right to self defense the only unilateral exception to the use of force? This is in relation to the UN charter and the prohibition on the use of force as set out in article 2(4).

Do self-defense courses for women teach them to defend themselves from female attackers, as well as males? I was just wondering, because from what I hear, it seems that women's self-defense courses are mainly geared towards teaching them to defend themselves from male attackers (e.g. rapists, muggers, etc.). Can these courses also enable women to defend themselves from other women who attack them?

Why does the right of self-defense not apply in public school? I'm writing this in response to the "zero tolerance" policies popping up that have any student defending themselves in a physical altercation to be suspended, expelled or even arrested. By what legal authority does a school have to cancel out the right of self-defense which are on the books in states and localities of the USA? The Supreme Court decision of Tinker Vs. Des Moines held that students do not necessarily shed their constitutional freedoms at the schoolyard gate. Is there a court decision(s) or local/state/federal laws that cancel out a student's right to self-defense?
