According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are around 3 million burglaries a year in the United States. You have a right to a secure and safe home, including the right to hold and use self-defense equipment necessary to protect yourself as well as your loved ones, Safety. Many of the burglaries reported involve people who are inside their residences. Which can be a terrifying event for which many of us would need to have some self-defense tools.

Although firearms are still popular to defend yourself and as a deterrent, not all situations require the use of firearms. And some people may not be willing to potentially kill another person, however, they might be justified in doing so while protecting their own home.

Pepper Spray

Pepper spray is a popular option for self-defense due to it's simplicity as well as its non-lethal nature and concealability. The active ingredient in pepper spray is extracted from chili peppers as well as other fruits in the Capsicum family. It is intended to be used on the eyes and the nose. This, in turn, will, lead to temporarily blindness, discomfort, inexplicably coughing, and difficulty in breathing and speaking.

Taser Devices

It's likely that even if there's no evidence of an actual taser, you've seen TASER devices used on cop shows on TV or in news reports. Tasers are very efficient in subduing an individual, no matter their size and strength. Using compressed gas, they launch two tiny probes that can reach fifteen feet in distance that be attached to the victim. The probes are attached to the target and conduct high-voltage currents into their bodies. The result is extreme pain, and sometimes collapse. The electrical shock causes the victim to lose control of their muscles.

Stun Guns

What is the difference between stun guns and TaSER? The answer is that stun guns aren't actually 'guns', in the sense that they don't shoot a projectile. They have to be pointed at the target's body. Therefore, they're usually best in close quarters where you aren't able to line up the shot correctly. The shock is released by pulling the trigger or pressing the button. This is something you would never want to do.

Cell Phone Stun Guns

Some stun guns look just as other devices, so intruders don't worry. Although they don't appear to be particularly dangerous, pulling out a cell phone can be quite frightening. This phone is special and will deliver an 4.9 milliamp shock to its intended. The phone can be carried around inside your pocket for the duration of the through the day. If you need to use it, pull it out instead of your normal phone. The target won't be the wiser until the shock explodes at their bodies! The stun gun won't let you make calls, not even to police. It is a stun gun and doesn't actually work as a phone.

Steel Batons

If you want to be up close and personal then telescopic steel batons are your friend. You can store them in smaller sizes to store. Keep some close to potential entry points so you have a spare set. Also, burglars might not be aware of the self defence tools you're using when they're not extended, providing you with the possibility of surprise. They'll not know the extent of what they've been hit until they're too late. Generally, the advice when using steel batons is to aim for the legs, specifically the rear of the knees in order to bring the target down to the floor. If you have weapons, it is recommended to concentrate on the joint of the shoulder or arms.

Slingshots

These toys are not intended for children, however they are very useful in a hostile environment. While slingshots can be a useful addition to your arsenal however, you'll need something stronger to protect your place of operation. A well-placed steel shot can prove to be as efficient as other weapons. However, it is recommended to practice it before using it. You may be able to send small pieces metal over the head of your target, even though it's not from an actual gun.
