We live in a very violent society where everybody is at risk. Assaults can occur in many places at many times . If we are not to be left feeling like powerless victims, what can we do to protect ourselves from all the crazy criminals ? Well, killing an innocent person is not accepted in society . There are other ways to defend yourself besides killing someone , these are self defense weapons.

There are many self-defense products available that you can use to protect yourself without putting the life of your attacker in danger. Next you will find a list of a few different self defense products .

Stun guns and Batons:

One increasingly popular self defense product is the stun gun . Stun guns are extremely useful when the aggressors are already too close for you to run or get away. A Stun Gun uses a high voltage, low amperage electrical shock to bring an attacker to his knees . The metal prongs on the end of the devices deliver an intense shock when touched to an assailant . The high voltage low amperage of the gun gives you plenty of stopping power but will not permanently harm the attacker . You can choose stun guns with varying sizes and voltages. Stun guns can be disguised as soda cans, mobile phones, credit cards, cigars, flashlights and other objects you usually carry around. You can also use an extendable stub baton to but some distance between you and your attacker . You will have enough time to leave the area or even call the police while your attacker is paralyzed by muscle spasms.

Before getting a stun gun it is import to know if they are legal where you live .

Pepper Sprays

Hands down the most popular self defense product is good old fashion pepper spray . It is very inexpensive to buy and packs enough punch to take out most attackers . It is most commonly purchased in a pressurized bottle/tube form that starts as small as keychain pepper spray. Also like the stun gun it can be camouflaged in usual objects that you carry around on a daily basis, lipstick being an example. You never have to worry about where to buy pepper spray because there are so many great online stores to buy it from. Before you purchase pepper spray make sure you are educated on how to use it correctly for maximum impact . Some conditions minimize its effects, for example if used on a windy day or if it is miss-aimed. There may not be official training available to you so you can use the internet to read up on it . Police often use mace pepper spray with other back-up resources.

Tasers

The new Advanced Taser M-18 series has almost 100% effectiveness rating. It is said to combine injury reducing benefits of the traditional stun gun with a quantum leap in stopping power via new Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology. Believe it or not but the new tasers have faster incapacitation then a 9mm hand gun . The Advanced Taser shoots out 2 darts attached to 15 feet of wire and 50,000 volts travels over the wires to over-ride the central nervous system. This provides substantial power to immobilize the attacker.
