No, i'll respond.
1)Grenades are what the ATF classifies as DDs, or Destructive Devices, therefore they fall in to the category that requires a $200 tax stamp....on each grenade. No law abiding citizen is going to spend that kind of money on a grenade.
2) A grenade is not effective as a scare tactic if your primary goal is to survive the encounter. It's only effective as a 'denial' weapon....what I mean by that is if I'm surrounded, no gun/knife/stick or stone to use as a weapon, then I'm taking them out with me.
3) shoulder mounted missile? nuff said.

Well, I am from Northern Illinois where people do hunt, pheasants happen to be one of the things to hunt. I've seen a flock of pheasants take off. That alone can scare the crap out of you if you're not ready for it.
Also, it has been my experience that, depending on what state you're in, the answers you get from the street cops compared to the appointees (police chiefs, etc.) are totally different in nature. You tend to get the straight truth from street cops instead of the 'politically correct' answers from the chiefs or mayors. Again, that does depend on where you're at. I wouldn't expect to hear San Fran cops tell people that a gun is the best choice, but here in Texas, they do.
