What Are The Best Self-Defense Products To Stop An Assailant? Buyer’s Guide

By Jack Allen

We do live in troubling times and you never know when something out of the ordinary rears it’s ugly head. Are we prepared for that time when it comes? We may need to save a family member, a friend, a stranger in need or ourselves.

We will focus here on non-lethal weapons and tools to stop an attack.

What personal defense products will suit you best and solve your problem when needed? How to choose the right non-lethal weapon for self-defense? Let us break them down here.

Personal Defense Equipment Normally Available!
1) Stun Guns
2) Pepper Spray
3) Tactical Flashlights

4) Personal Alarm System

Stun guns are more convenient to use and are portable. Unlike pepper sprays and other types of guns, they do not require much training, just good common sense. I suggest you Opt for high-voltage stun guns (no less than 800,000V) because they produce the electrical current capable to penetrate more layers of clothes and they emit a loud sound that will frighten off an attacker. Design does matter and it needs to be a fit for you. Portable and smaller-sized options would be the most preferable.

Pepper sprays may require a little more training but these may work better if you need to slow down multiple assailants.

Tactical flashlights are an excellent resource to have in your car, at work or at home and can include stun gun and pepper spray options.

Making noise is also a good way to draw some attention to you during an attack and may scare off an assailent. A personal alarm system is a must.

So a combination of these personal defense items seems to be the way to go in my opinion. Also having a portable cell phone with you at all times would be a huge asset and allows you to call 911 or other help.

Here are some highly rated stun guns.
