How to choose the right
self-defense products
Choosing the right self-defense
products is an important decision. This article
will explain a few details about some of the commonly
available items, and allow you to make an intelligent
decision about the self-defense products that
are right for you.
One category of self-defense
products includes stun guns and tasers. These
are electroshock weapons designed to incapacitate
your attacker by delivering an electrical shock
that interferes with the bodies’ nervous
system. Stun guns are designed to be used up close
attacker in order to function. When choosing a
stun gun, check the wattage value. This is a measure
of the overall power of the electrical shock delivered
by the stun gun. The higher the wattage, the more
powerful the shock.
Stun gun self-defense products
are available in a wide variety of shapes and
sizes. Some are large and quite obvious, designed
for a show of force. Others are quite small and
easily concealable. Some are even available disguised
as cell phones, umbrellas, or flashlights.
Tasers are self-defense products
that can be used from a distance of up to 15 feet
from your attacker. They are a favorite of the
police and the military. A taser uses a compressed
gas cartridge to deliver a projectile that contains
a set of electrodes. The electrical charge is
delivered via a set of small, thin wires that
remain attached to the projectile. They deliver
a charge for 30 seconds even when dropped, allowing
you time to flee your attacker. They also include
a built-in set of electrodes that can be used
up close as a regular stun gun. This is helpful
if you do not have time to flee your attacker
or if you fire the taser and miss your target.
There are currently two models
of tasers available to the general public for
use as self-defense products, the M18 Advanced
Taser and the Taser C2. The M18 Advanced Taser
is shaped like a handgun and has an available
optional laser sight for better targeting. The
Taser C2 is smaller, with a sleek, ergonomic design.
It is targeted mainly to women, is highly concealable,
and is available in a number of different colors.
The C2 is also available with a laser sight.
Another category of self-defense
products includes mace and pepper sprays. These
devices use a variable combination of OC Pepper
and CN Tear Gas. OC pepper causes the eyes to
close and causes severe choking and coughing.
CN Tear Gas causes intense burning to the eyes
and face and disorientation. Neither of these
substances causes permanent damage, but they allow
time for you to flee your attacker.
Mace and pepper spray self-defense
products are available in a wide variety of shapes
and sizes. Most are quite small and highly concealable.
Some are even small enough to be attached to a
key chain.
