Less-Than-Lethal Self-Defense Tools: What’s Legal in Texas & How to Use Them

ByWalt Mayfield 05/19/202504/27/2025

Not every self-defense situation calls for a firearm. Many people—especially women, first-time defenders, or those in restricted environments—turn to less-than-lethal tools for personal protection.

🧰 Legal Less-Than-Lethal Tools in Texas:

Pepper Spray – legal without restriction
Stun Guns / TASERs – legal for adults, not felons
Batons / Impact Tools – must be used responsibly; legal in many situations
MUNIO Keychains – discreet, TSA-friendly, and highly effective for close contact

⚖️ Use of Force Still Applies

Remember: even less-than-lethal options are legally considered “force”. Misuse could result in assault or aggravated assault charges. That’s why training is crucial.

🛡️ Train Protect Defend Offers:

MUNIO Self-Defense Workshops for Women

📍 Training held at 407 Gun Club, North Texas.

Empower yourself with the right tools and the knowledge to use them safely and legally.
