Which of the following is a weaponless strategy?

• A. Pepper spray
• B. Joint Locking
• C. Taser
• D. Baton

Answer: (B)

Weaponless strategies rely on technique and body mechanics rather than tools. A joint locking technique uses leverage and control of a person's joints to restrict movement and gain compliance, all without deploying any external device. This approach focuses on positioning, balance, and controlled pressure to subdue or restrain while aiming to minimize harm. Pepper spray, taser, and baton involve external tools or weapons—chemical irritant, electrical incapacitation, and impact weapon—so they are not weaponless. Therefore, the joint lock is the weaponless option.
