[FRIAM] the Skeptical Meme

Thus  tasers..  couple a set of them with a Prius's battery so that reload is not a problem.  
Then some body armor for the Prius.    On the high end, a Tesla Model S could just turn targets into smoke if need be.

Yeah, bullets are another matter entirely.  It's easy to be "pure defense" with sticks and such.  Self-defense in the context of bullets is one of incoherent, asymmetric, or preemptive.  People who tell me they have a gun for self-defense risk a confrontation.  Guns are purely offensive.  They are nothing but murder weapons ... unless you're good enough to hit the other guys bullet with your bullet!  So, when someone says guns are for self-defense, what they really mean is they intend to murder people if they feel threatened.
