How to Choose Self Defense Weapons Wisely

When you choose self defense weapons that you hope will save your life in the event of an assault or attack, you need to be sure that these stun guns or Taser guns will in fact do what you intend them to do. So it’s a good idea to find out how the different devices work, and how they can help you in the event of a dire emergency. If you choose the wrong “weapon” you could be badly hurt or even die.

If you think about what self defense weapons can do, you will realize that the possibilities are quite varied. Furthermore, these weapons range from lethal devices that can kill, to those that will really only give you time to escape dangers or alert others who will then (one hopes and prays) will come to your help - and defense. So you need to also decide whether you want a weapon you might kill someone with, or simply one that you will really just use for self defense. Stun gun devices are a good option.

It really is your choice, but what is there to choose from? Here are some basic ideas:

• Guns and other related firearms which DO kill. Don’t forget that you will need a license for these.
• Stun guns and related weapons that DON’T kill. These may need a license in some states.
• Self defense spray devices that can injury but that DON’T kill. You may need a license to use some of these.
• Personal alarm systems that literally raise the alarm with a whole lot of noise. Some incorporate pepper spray and even stun guns. You won’t normally need any type of permission.
• Ordinary batons that you might be able to hit an attacker with…

That’s about all, except for personal training that will enable you to perhaps become a ninja warrior for a moment … or simply use

If you look at this list you will see that unless you are willing to risk killing an attacker (or getting killed yourself if the person overpowers you and take control of your lethal weapon) - or if you think you are strong enough to fight back with sticks (and possibly imaginary or even real swords). The middle three options are the most common. None are lethal and all are highly effective - better still, all three are inexpensive and they don’t require any training at all.

Look at the list again, and you will probably identify the fact that a stun gun will be one of the best self defense weapons you could ever choose. These operate from ordinary batteries, and yet they will zap an offender and transfer enough electricity into the attacker to make the person become a victim. The thing is that a good mini stun gun is easy-to-use and it WILL keep you safe. More on personal safety training
