Personal Alarms, Pepper sprays, Stun Guns, TASER - Which One!

Self defense weapons have pretty much become a necessity today. With sexual assaults, robberies, home invasions, date rapes happening all around us at an alarming rate, the question now is not whether or not you want to take a stand and defend yourself, your loved ones and your home, it’s now a matter of what tool will fit my defense needs.
If you are wondering which self defense weapon is good for you, here’s some helpful information so you can make a better decision in purchasing your defense device.

Self Defense Weapons come in many varieties, forms, styles and price ranges.

Personal Alarms are meant to be heard. These compact self defense weapons do not get enough credit. They come in different styles and can be carried on your person or as a keychain. A few models act as a window/door alarm also! Most alarms have a 100 to 130 decibel sounding alarm which in some cases can be heard up to a ½ mile away depending on the noise level of the area you sound the alarm at. These devices are great for small children and elderly adults who cannot or do not want to carry a more elaborate self defense weapon.
Pepper sprays are a small wonder. Come in a large array of styles, you can opt for the concealed Lipstick pepper spray to carry in your purse or pocket, a keychain style which I personally like as it is always readily available, to a one pound canister for your home. They provide instant protection causing burning, pain, temporary blindness, choking and coughing to your victim. These symptoms will last up to 45 minutes which gives you plenty of time to get away to safety.
Stun Guns do require contact. Stun guns will take an attacker down to his knees! The higher the voltage the less contact time you will need. These smart devices can be purchased as cell phones, lipsticks, jogging weights, and traditional stun gun styling, all of which will take your assailant down. The voltages usually range from 50,000 volts to 4.5 million volts! This type of self defense weapon is not for all; remember you need to have full contact with your attacker in order for these to obviously take affect.
TASER® the ultimate in defense. TASER® International has 3 models for you to choose from. The C2 which is modeled for civilian use, they are small and easily carried. The M26C is usually used by security officers and business owners, they are bulky and as the batteries drain so does the power. The X26C is primarily used by business owners, security professionals and bail bondsmen and has the best technology out of all 3 guns. At 50,000 volts of power and the fact that you can be within 15 feet of your attacker makes these devices very attractive.

Whichever self defense weapon you choose, anyone of them will help defend you in the event you are attacked.
