- Learn to use a weapon. If you choose to buy a gun, get some instruction and visit the range frequently to optimize your skills. If you aren’t comfortable with guns, your weapon of alternative can be something else; simply ensure you've got a way to defend yourself. Take into account pepper spray or a stun gun ...
