Self-defense is a vast area but typically includes the ability to defend, or retaliate against, oneself. These weapons generally are not considered firearms and are usually hand-held. The self-defense weapons can vary in size from a small knife all the way up to an assault rifle. This weapon class is designed for the person who needs to use it to break free from those that wish you harm, not kill them.
However, these weapons have also become popular as tools for self-defense by their own nature because of their small size and ease of storage and carry as well as being able to be used with one hand if needed.
Smaller weapons such as pens, knives, pepper spray, batons, keychains, and box cutters are examples of defensive weapons because they can be used to stop an unarmed attacker by inflicting pain, thus giving one time to escape. A gun or large blade is not necessary but works well with causing overall damage.
If a person is close enough to use this weapon it does not take much physical effort or strength to inflict severe damage on the body, but when it comes to stabbing someone with a box cutter than it takes quite a bit of physical effort and strength from the arms, wrist, and hands. The stronger the person trying to defend themselves against an armed attacker the more power can be exerted in defending oneself against an armed attacker.
Self-Defense Weapons Include:
Knives, such as the karambit, bowie knife, and butterfly knife. Batons and other striking weapons such as collapsible steel batons, tonfa, and nunchaku. Handguns such as the derringer pistol and pepper spray.
Weapons have become a necessity in self-defense today due to the prominence of crime in today’s society. These tools not only give you a means of protecting yourself but can also be used to help save a life without killing another person. Knives, firearms (especially revolvers), and tools such as tasers are currently some of the most attractive options for those who want protection from harm while on the go or at home.
Defensive Knives
When it comes to self-defense, knives are the easiest-to-carry self-defense weapons that are readily available for purchase. In our opinion, these are the best options for those who don’t want to spend a small fortune on equipment that might not be suitable for their particular needs.
The goal of these weapons is to provide superior force in a way that is convenient and quick enough to allow you time to escape or incapacitate your opponent as soon as possible following an attack or attack attempt.
Batons
It is a device used by martial artists to train their bodies and minds. It performs many of the same functions as physical training equipment such as barbells, but it can also be used for meditation. The first use of a bamboo stick to train troops was documented in China in the 6th century AD during the Sui Dynasty (581-618).
Martial art implements that derive from these early training prototypes are still used today around the world, including on some college campuses in North America. They are commonly referred to as “batons”, but may also be known under alternate names depending on their method of use or origin.
Pepper Spray
The term pepper spray is generally used to describe a type of spray-like device that uses chemicals, heat, and/or irritants such as CS tear gas or CN tear gas (capchlorophen) to temporarily incapacitate people, usually bodily motion. This disabling agent can be used by law enforcement and civilians alike for defense against unwanted aggression. No matter what your gender, age, or background is, these are amazing self-defense weapons.
Stun Guns
A stun gun or taser is a weapon used to temporarily disable an attacker who poses an extreme risk of harm. A stun gun typically delivers an electric shock to the victim with two metal electrodes, which results in “neuromuscular incapacitation” and can leave the victim disoriented for anywhere from five seconds up to 20 minutes.
Stun guns are primarily designed for defensive purposes, giving their users time to escape from the attackers who pose deadly threats. Stun guns were originally manufactured in Japan where they are known as “taser guns”.
Defensive Keychains
Have you heard of the term keychain? It’s a small chain, usually plastic with one or two keys on it, that hangs from a keyholder. You can carry your keys in your pocket or use them to lock and unlock things. Sometimes people just put the keys on the exterior of their purses for convenience.
The term self-defense keychains refer to those that are designed and crafted for defense purposes. They may not be able to defend against attackers as well as an actual weapon would, but they are better than nothing. They could be used in case you’re threatened by someone when you don’t have access to other types of weapons (such as having a concealed carry permit).
Importance of Self-defense Weapons!
When you want to feel safe, but can’t always rely on your car or house alarm system to save you, many people opt for self-defense weapons. Whether a firearm, pepper spray, taser gun, or even an edged weapon like a knife or sword is the best choice for you depends on your personal needs and wants.
For those looking for physical protection from predators, firearms are often the best first choice. Pepper sprays require direct contact with an attacker’s body so they produce fewer lingering effects than harsher guns. Tasers can be utilized if physical contact is not needed and they are typically less expensive than guns while offering a longer range of distance.
Knives and other edged weapons like them, while not a bad choice all by themselves, often lack the power to be effective compared to firearms. In many cases, simply having the right type of self-defense tool is enough to save you from attack in the first place.
Those with kids, who live in apartments without garages or have limited space for storing weapons, might be looking for an alternative option. Self-defense weapons do still come highly recommended as a means of home defense but are not required for keeping your family safe from harm.
