Why not pepper spray? Taser? Knife? Or any other self defense weapon?

Each has its pros and cons..... i just dont want guns removed from available options. If you chose a taser over a gun, thats fine.

Pepper spray has an area of effect and isnt that effective to begin with. Good chance the effects of the spray would effect both the man and the woman.
The tasers that do not shoot projectiles are difficult to use and could be defended, the ones that do shoot projectiles only shoot once. So if you miss, you're screwed.
Knives are only as effective as the person holding it, i could fight off an unskilled woman with a knife.

I don't think they should replace the option of a gun but they seem better than pissing yourself or saying you have AIDS.
