As a previous resident of San Francisco, I'm sickened by the recent attacks. I left in part because I didn't feel safe.
I grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona. Lethal force has always been a necessary part of my life. However, living in SF meant I wasn't allowed to protect myself properly.
This caused me to think about how to protect myself without guns & without lethal force.
Constraints cause creativity.
Questions I started asking: What would stop an attacker in their tracks? What's easy to carry and doesn't harm people permanently? What's legal and not likely to be made illegal?
Super Glue is the answer.
Super Glue makes skin stick to itself INSTANTLY.
They use it in emergency rooms and ambulances to stop bleeding from cuts, bullet wounds, etc. It saved many lives in Vietnam because it was easy to carry and stopped the bleeding from bullet wounds.
The instant stickiness is the key to its success. If you get it on your fingers, you'll have a hard time separating them. If you get it on a weapon or ammunition, you'll have a hard time using them or won't be able to use them at all. If you get it on your lips, good luck talking for a few days. If you get it in your eyes, you'll blink and instantly seal your eyes shut for several days. Making you temporarily blind.
It can instantly stop any attacker.
We don't use it this way. We use it to fix broken lamps, make art and save lives in emergency rooms.
It has so much more potential to use as protection without lethality. Teachers & Schools could use it without fear of having a gun in the classroom. Individuals can use it to protect themselves on the street without carrying dangerous or illegal weapons. Police can use it to stop crime without lethal force. Armies can use it to stop an entire brigade in their tracks.
Carrying it with you at all times has an added benefit. If you or anyone else gets hurt, you can seal those wounds instantly until help arrives.
The problem is that Super Glue has not been turned into something that can be used this way. It needs to be turned into an aerosol, paint ball, whatever and marketed to the masses.
I'm starting an open source project to turn this into a reality. I need your help making this happen.
If you're a 3d printer magician, scientist, product builder or simple want to help - I'd love to hear from you.
Together, with Super Glue, we can save lives and protect the innocent.
