JACKSON, Tenn. — In the wake of recent shootings, you may be thinking of ways to protect yourself while shopping this holiday season.
Experts shared the are ways you can protect yourself, other than carrying a gun.

Even if you do own a firearm, Holland says there are some situations where you could need an alternative.
“Certain places you can’t carry because they’re posted, which means they have signs saying no guns allowed. They don’t allow firearms on their property, places that serve alcohol. If you’re going to be consuming alcohol, you can’t be armed with a firearm,” Holland said.
Other self-defense items include self-defense alarms and whistles, knives, batons, and tactical flashlights.
