December 16th, 2008

You decide that you are not physically strong enough to fight an attacker. You need some kind of weapon or product to keep you safe while you walk home by yourself . Read on to find out more about self defense products as well as how they can keep you safe and secure .

I will cover the two most popular self defense tools : pepper sprays and stun guns.

Pepper Spray

The active ingredient in pepper sprays is oleoresin capsicum, commonly known as OC. It comes from a certain type of red pepper hence the name pepper spray . It is a natural compound that has an oily texture . Once OC spray is used on an individual , it gives an immediate burning sensation of the skin and a burning, tearing and swelling of the eyes. If inhaled, the respiratory tract becomes swelled and thus temporarily restricts the person’s breathing to short shallow breaths.

Stun Guns

Stun guns are very effective because they interfere with the bodies nervous system . This is done by emitting electricity to an attacker’s body. A stun gun does not harm a person permanently; it keeps your attacker from using most muscles for a short period of time . The electricity charge emitted to a person body may be high in voltage but low in amperage therefore, it does no cause long term damage to a person or attacker. They come in many different power sizes 80 000 and 900 000 volt at a rate of three milliamps.

One other self defense tool is a personal alarm . This is not common in countries in which it is legal to bring firearms, pepper sprays and stun guns. Personal alarms are a passive way to practice self-defense. A personal alarm is a small; hand- held device that emits a strong, loud, high- pitched sound to deter attackers as the loud noise can draw the attention of passersby.

Personal alarms are very underrated and can be a highly valuable means of self defense . If an attacker hears the sound from that they are probably take off in the other direction. Most criminals try to do crimes as silently as possible so no one will notice . Most people are sure to notice when something that loud goes off in their area .

You must be wondering which self defense product you should choose. If you live in an area where stun guns and pepper spray are against the law you choices are limited ; therefore the choice is narrowed down to personal alarms. If you want protection that has a lot of knock down power than you should get a stun gun . If you want good all around protection that is effective and inexpensive than pepper spray should be your choice. Pepper Spray is legal almost everywhere and there are thousands of places that you can purchase it from.
