What are the right to life and self defence as human?
The right to life is a fundamental human right that ensures every individual has the inherent entitlement to live and be free from arbitrary deprivation of life. Self-defense is recognized as a legitimate justification for using force to protect oneself from imminent harm or threat, allowing individuals to defend their own lives or the lives of others. Both concepts are essential in legal frameworks and ethical discussions, balancing individual rights with societal safety. They underscore the importance of protecting life while acknowledging the necessity of self-preservation in dangerous situations.
Can drawbridge be used for defense?
Yes, drawbridges can be used for defense as they provide a strategic advantage by controlling access to fortified structures such as castles or city gates. When raised, they create a barrier against approaching enemies, making it difficult for them to breach the defenses. Additionally, drawbridges can be combined with moats or other defensive features to enhance security. This architectural element has historically been an effective means of protection in military fortifications.
Is archery good for self-defense?
Archery is not very effective as a form of self defense. The slow reload time and relative clumsiness of any kind of bow makes it so that a knife, gun, tazer, pepper spray, or even just martial arts are more effective as a form of defense if attacked.

How do you determine self defense?
Self defense is a legal concept. It is an excuse in some instances. The rather vague measurement is if a reasonable person in that situation would have felt threatened. If the jury agrees that a reasonable person would have felt in danger, they can rule self defense.
What is the difference between self defense and martial arts?
Self defense is the preservation of one's self. It includes everything from protecting one's self from an attacker and avoiding getting hit in the face by a door flying open.
A martial art is a collection of martial skills designed to be used in combat. They can also be used for self defense, improving strength and the ability to react to the unexpected.
Can you shoot someone for spitting on you?
No! First of all, it's not right. Second of all, you'd be on the run from the cops because of murder, and third, if you follow the ancient Mesopotamian philosophy of "an eye for an eye," the best thing you can do is spit back.
One of the fastest ways to permanently disable someone is a kick to the side of the knee, blowing the knee. Always remember that you have to live with the consequences of your actions, and permanently disabling someone cannot be un-done.
Also, keep in mind that if you are of similar skill levels, that your opponent may well be able to defend against your every attack, just as you can defend against theirs. For this reason, a "fastest" method may not exist, as the successful strategy in this situation may not be known or knowable.
What is non resistant self defense?
Three types of non resistant self defense are Japanese Jujitsu, Judo, and Aikido. These arts do not utilize power against power. They use your opponent's own force and momentum against him, but it takes years to really master them.
Addendum:Actually, the only means of non-resistant self-defense is to walk away. In any form of active self-defense such as fighting, boxing, martial arts, pepper sprays and other SD tools, the victim must take a resistant stance, that is he confronts his attacker and responds in equal or greater kind. Those who walk away or escape are presenting a perspective of non-resistance.
How do you do an informative speech on self defense?
In order to give an informative speech on any topic, you must have information. I don't know how well informed you may be on the subject of self defense, but even if you are not well informed, there is information available on the internet (google is always useful) and you may also want to find someone who knows more than you do, and interview him or her. When you are suitably informed, then it is just a matter of writing up a clear speech which conveys the information that you have, which you can then deliver. Here are some points which I think should be included:
why does self defense matter
what kind of training or equipment should you have
what are the simplest techniques that anyone can use
what could you do to avoid getting into situations in which self defense becomes necessary.
What self defense can you use when being burglarized?
Laws vary by state, but generally if you fell your life or the lives of any of the occupants of the house are in danger you can use lethal force against the intruder. You are also of course permitted to use any level of force (within reason) to defend yourself against a non-lethal attack. Again laws vary by state, for instance here in CO, if someone breaks into your house, all you must do is order then to stop and if they don't then deadly force is authorized because every citizen has the right to be secure in their own home.

What must be proven to support a claim of self-defense?
I believe this link I'm providing will be helpful in a basic, general sense.
Addendum:Generally it must be proven (by you) that you genuinely believed your physical security or life was in danger and that you had no other recourse (could not talk your way out of it or physically escape).
By and large (and very simply), if you are attacked and you cannot get way, and the only means you have of protecting yourself is to fight back to the point of killing your attacker, you MAY have a defense of self-preservation. This can extend to the defense of others in some states--NOT ALL.
Be very aware though, that even if you have the defense, a crime has still been committed, it is only that you MAY have been legally justified in committing that crime.

Can you find out someone's first and last name by home address?
Typically, YES by entering the full address, and "owner" or "resident" in your search engine. You may have to hunt through a few links, and it may generate a few names. If you aren't finding what you're looking for there, you can again use your search engine to look up the names it produced. Images linked to social networks and other internet publications are a great resource for finding the name of the face you are trying to identify. Public records are another great resource. However, they won't specify whether the resident is the owner, renter, or other.
