Practical products that work under real-life conditions.
What do you really need for personal self defense? Statistically, it is highly unlikely you will ever pull your handgun out and point it at someone, much less pull the trigger. You are far more likely to use less-than-lethal options. You have no legal right in any state to justifiably take a life unless they are presenting a threat that will result in great bodily injury or death. Being prepared for the worst is always a good idea and we fully endorse handgun ownership.
Here is what you need to protect yourself or loved ones:
1. Handgun: along with a legal permit and a method of carrying it. Use it to defend yourself or someone else if your perception is that death (or in some states – serious or great bodily harm) will result from what you see taking place. Forget about caliber. If you hit someone with a bullet it is going to hurt them. Research clearly indicates stopping power has to do with the bullet, not necessarily the caliber. Buy one that fits your hand like a comfortable glove and you can shoot well with.
Note: A shotgun, although not necessary, is a good idea for home defense. The Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 have been around a long time and are reasonably priced.
2. Pepper Spray: use it at a proper distance to avoid laying your hands on an Adversary.
3. Control Instrument: typically a long, hard and cylindrical object, these are used to create tremendous pain on different pressure sensitive areas of the Adversary’s body. Typically, you would use a control instrument only if you cannot escape and the Adversary has grabbed you. You might also use it to assist another person who is being attacked.
Assault Prevention Suggestion: combine the Pepper Spray and the Control Instrument by purchasing the ASP Key Defender. This is our #1 recommendation for a defensive weapon. It combines a key strike (which is a type of impact weapon) along with a control instrument (kubaton) and pepper spray which is easily released. There is a safety mechanism for the pepper spray to reduce the risk of accidental discharge.
4. Impact Instrument: an impact instrument is used to create impact (not pressure) on an area of the body. Classic impact weapons are batons or flashlights. These are very effective if you need to strike an Adversary. Target areas are the arms and legs and shoulders. Use an impact instrument only if the Adversary is within appropriate striking distance.
5. Flashlight: for emergency lighting when you need it. When a flashlight is unexpectedly aimed at an Adversary’s eyes, it will temporary disrupt their vision allowing you to escape. The bulb (measured in lumens) needs to be bright enough to have this effect.
Assault Prevention Suggestion: purchase a flashlight that is bright enough to disrupt an Adversary’s sight and has a bezel on the end. This allows you to use it as an effective impact weapon or control instrument if needed.
Note: for any weapon to be effective, it needs to be in your hand or immediate reach when required. Carry the Key Defender in your hand (or purse or waistband) and ready to use while walking in unfamiliar areas. Please remember to avoid confrontations if possible. Escape if you must. Know the use of force or self defense statutes in your state.
