There are non-lethal alternatives, like a pepper gun which basically just shoots pepper balls. I have a similar medical history so for now I only use non-lethal options, and for lethal options I remade my own Lucille from Walking Dead. A bat with barbed wire wrapped around and stapled to it. My spouse is not from the US and I lived in a very openly hostile area. A couple neighbors outright flew Nazi swatika flags on their porch so I needed to have something to kill them with if they fucked with me or my fam. Never had to luckily, but the option was available.
Anyway, I learned about a lot of non-lethal options from them as well.
