Self Defense Weapons - Which is the right one for you
?
The many forms of self defense are abundant and should be taken in to careful consideration when choosing how you want to defend yourself. You can go unarmed or armed. Weaponry as Pepper spray and Stun Guns are a very effective means of less-lethal defense.
If you have the option to run from the potential crime area to seek help then this is the option that should truly be used. If you aren't capable at the moment of running you will need to take control and stand your ground against the attacker. Dangerous measures as using a knife or gun are not for everyone and if at all possible consideration in using a less lethal means as pepper spray, stun guns or martial arts training is highly recommended.
As martial arts training will not require any use of weaponry many years go into training to become effective in defense. Many people are not physically capable of utilizing this form of self defense. This method also involves the individual being attacked be within arm's reach of an attacker, which in return could be more dangerous especially if your attacker is carrying a weapon.
Pepper spray will allow you a safe distance between you and your potential attacker. Most pepper spray range from 8 to 12 feet with some reaching as far as 25 feet. Beware though, if your attacker has a face mask or any type of covering on the face or you don't aim it directly to the face there's a great chance you spraying won't do any harm.
Stun guns don't require much in aiming as pepper spray and might be a better choice. Using a stun gun will deliver shock to your assailant and incapacitate him or her.
If you do not want to get that close to your potential attacker then a TASER might be the right option for you. TASER guns can be used as a stun device for backup capability also.
While you may be utilizing some form of self defense whether it be martial arts, pepper spray, stun guns or a TASER gun, always keep your safety first, make sure you always have it readily available and in the ready mode. Importantly try to keep your composure and not let your attacker know you are afraid. Stand your ground, keep your cool and fight with all you have.
