Life is hard enough without having to deal with the constant threat of criminals and robbers. Most don't make enough money as it is to have their precious valuables to be stolen, and even more don't have the health insurance to get treatment in a criminal attack. To prevent such scenarios, investing in consumer-grade self defense items is a great idea. Pepper spray is a very popular type of self defense simply because it can be concealed quite easily and because it is so effective. The pepper spray will widen blood vessels in the eye- making the criminal close his or her eyes for a good 20-30 minutes- depending on how severe the spray was. They will also have trouble breathing and may experience a disabling burning sensation. Stun guns are also quite popular for those who don't have enough strength to get away from a heavily built male. Often times most who use stun guns are females, as they can quickly disable an attacker and force them to the ground in seconds. Although more costly, stun guns can come in many varieties, and can even have longer ranges than pepper spray to make for more safety. Knives aren't commonly used for self defense, since not many are skillfully trained in using knives. Others don't like the fact that most metal detectors will cause a scene if they are carrying a concealed knife. But for settings such as the office or even at home, concealed knives that are manufactured to look like pens can give the defensive victim the precious act of surprise. One can take a page from the police handbook by obtaining a hand baton. Batons are used since they are easily conceal, expand upon a flick of the wrist, and can be a very large deterrent in an attack. Batons are made to sting as much as they injure the victim of the blow. Of course this requires direct contact, so most batons are best suited for males who can wield them with a sense of confidence. Lastly there are air guns- which are also less common since they resemble guns in most cases. Police and store officials will likely mistake the use of an air gun in self defense as an attack, and may take regrettable actions. Thus, air guns are best used in home scenarios where the gun isn't going to be used in public in the eye of others. Closing Comments We just can't get enough of new gadgets that provide for more security- but it'll cost a bit of money to guarantee one's safety. For the best solution to one's certain situation, consult a self defense expert and friends or family members of items they would recommend.
