What are the best self defense weapons? There's no single device on the market today that can suit every situation except in my opinion the Taser gun. But let's talk about other methods right now. What I can say is that the best self defense devices are those that will effectively protect you from an attacker, easily carried and have simple operation. What might perform well enough for home protection might not be best suited for personal carry while out in public.
Taking your own personal defense needs into consideration and weighing the pros and cons of each self defense devices will help you in making a good choice.
Firearms are in fact the most powerful in personal defense. Although guns can cause lethal results. If you can handle the aftermath of firing a gun on someone and knowing that you can possibly kill them then this would be the weapon of choice for you, however keep in mind by using lethal weapons you may be setting yourself up for a jail sentence. Utilizing firearms in the home can be the best use of this self defense device.
If you aren't quite sure about using lethal firearms then you should consider the Taser gun. This self defense device is the ultimate in less-lethal weapons. They allow you up to 15 feet of distance between you and the attacker, will go through up to 2 inches of clothing and will drop them down immediately. You won't kill them however you will stop them in their track, at this time you can either run away or tie them up and call the police.
Stunning devices disrupt the person's electrical impulses that send signals from the brain to other parts of the body. When a person is stunned with a stun gun, the body is temporarily paralyzed as the various muscles are being disrupted. It confuses the brain and temporarily shuts down. Because of disruption, the muscles work extremely hard and don't know what they are supposed to be doing. This depletes the energy from the body thus causing incapacitation on the attacker for a short period of time. At this time you run.
Stun guns are able to produce voltages ranging from 50,000 to 4.5 million with some being even higher. They will penetrate through the thickest of clothing. Stun guns radiate a spark with is very visible. They also protrude a loud crackling noise that can be intimidating. Its purchase is to let an attacker see and hear that you have a stun gun. This will usually be enough to deter an attacker away from you.
Self defense sprays work best for those who practice using them. You must spray an attacker in the eyes and face in order for them to perform to their potential. Aim is crucial with this form of self defense. Practicing with an Inert Practice Spray will help you with your aim.
There are a vast variety of self defense weapons on the market today; they all come in different sizes, styles, strengths and voltage levels. Keep in mind that stun guns are for close encounter attacks and require physical contact with the attacker. You will not cause permanent harm to someone by use self defense weapons.
While you may not think you are already equipped with some of the best self defense weapons you are by already carrying ordinary items with you daily. Your car keys make a great self defense device, hold the point of the key between your fingers and jab the attacker. If you have a pocket full of change, throw it in the attackers face. If it's raining ad you have an umbrella in your hand, close it and start hitting, swinging and jabbing. Yes, purchasing self defense devices is your best bet but if you don't already have one, use your head, what do you already own that's on your person that you can use to defend yourself.
In the end it's all about personal choice when choosing self defense weapons. Take the time to look at all your options before purchasing. Always remember if you don't carry your weapon it can't help you.
