The use of pepper spray instead of lethal force will show you did what you had to, to protect yourself and dad without using a gun.

I believe this is something I'm going to start considering just for this exact reason. I have no desire to shoot and kill anything or anyone unless I have no other alternative. If the none lethal measure is an option, I think it's a better choice for that kind of scenario. Time for some research. Gotta find one that's compact and can be carried easily.
