Take a Street Safety Course Watching video courses, learning online and practicing in your own spare time is great, but you will always need experience. Instead of getting into trouble, you should enroll in a street safety course instead. People who teach these know a lot of things, and more often than not they’ve been in a tough situation and know how you can get out of it – either peacefully or via self-defense. Remember that it is better to give someone your money than it is to try and take them on if they have a gun pointed at you. Pepper Spray Pepper spray is a popular choice for women and it is easy to see why this is. The reason is that many women are afraid of directly engaging their attacker and therefor pepper spray is the ideal option as it provides one with a powerful ranged weapon that can disable attackers before they can even get a chance to harm you. Most pepper spray devices come disguised as miniature covert canisters which look like perfume, pens, lipstick, eye drop bottles and so on. These creative design options allow you to have the element of surprise and upper hand since the attacker will not be expecting this. What About Stun Guns? These handheld devices produce a very small electrical current, but a very powerful voltage which is so strong that it can temporary disable attackers for several minutes. This device not lethal and it won't leave any long-lasting side-effects. In most States it is legal to buy and carry a stun gun, but in some you might have to get a special permission which also requires you to have a clear record. It is best to check with your local laws before you attempt you buy one via the Internet. Taser Devices - The New Hype? You have probably heard about Tasers and how the police use them lately. They are quite expensive and you require a special permission and registration in order to obtain one. However, their efficiency rating is extremely high and they can provide you with both the functionality of pepper spray and a stun gun. Why is that? Well, a Taser provides a long-ranged disable, but it can also be used as a stun gun should the attacker get close to you. Need more?
