Top 4 Weapons of Self Defense for You & Your Loved Ones

The newspaper, news channels, and the internet are full of various gruesome stories of burglary, victimization, murder, sexual assault, and other kinds of brutal attacks. What the general public learns from such stories is the fact that no one is safe in this world.

This factor further instigates us to carry a contingency plan all the time since bad can happen anytime anywhere. In other words, the possession of self-defense weapons has become utmost crucial for all irrespective of gender, race, and religion. Take a look at the following list while you make up your mind to purchase and get some self-defense weapons:

1.          Real Brass Knuckles

Brass knuckles have always been very popular among the masses; the reason is not only that they look cool. But, the underlying reason relates to the effectiveness of the knuckle dusters. They are so effective and well-known to be brutal weapons that they have been banned in many states. If your state allows you carry them, then keep them concealed in your pockets. They are to be revealed and used only when you find yourself in a life-threatening situation.

2.          Pepper Spray

This is a non-lethal but highly effective weapon. Before I go into the details, I want to remove one stereotype: this weapon is not designed for women alone; men can use it as effectively as women. All you have to do is spray the content of the pepper spray into the eyes of the attacker. Pepper spray causes intense irritation to eyes and skin which will buy you enough time to get yourself to some safe place or alarm the police.

3.          Pen Knife

How cool is this that you can use your pen for writing and fighting as well. This pen looks like a regular pen from the outside; however, it carries a concealed blade on the inside which can help you out of any dangerous situation. A pen knife is an easily portable and accessible weapon.

4.          Stun Gun

Stun guns are also the non-lethal weapons which are easy to use. In contrast to Taser guns, a stun gun requires a direct contact with the potential attacker. While using the stun gun, you are able to temporarily paralyze and stupefy the attacker for more than half an hour (depending on the voltage). The strike of a stun gun causes immense pain while it renders the attacker unable to move. This is the reason that a stun gun is known for being highly effective when it comes to buy self-defense weapons.
