👉 A conduct weapon, often referred to as a weapon of choice or a weapon of preference, is a non-lethal tool or device that individuals use to defend themselves or others during confrontations. Unlike traditional weapons like guns or knives, conduct weapons are designed to incapacitate or deter without causing permanent harm. Examples include pepper spray, tasers, batons, and even everyday items like chairs or water bottles. The primary goal of a conduct weapon is to subdue an aggressor without lethal force, allowing for a peaceful resolution or preventing harm. Proper training and understanding of appropriate use are crucial to ensure safety and effectiveness in self-defense situations.
