In a world full of lies, totally unaware of other people's intentions, having no idea that what can happen next moment, knowing nothing about what is going in other person’s mind, self-defense weapons are nothing less than a blessing. Not to harm others but to protect our own self, self-defense weapons can serve a major role and in fact are serving mankind from ancient time, though they were simple in past but still were widely used. Self-defense weapons are usually small in size so that they can be carried easily. Generally, it is believed that not only weapons can be used for self-defense, but our body can defend us too. Among the body, mind serves as the best self-defense weapon. But obviously it is necessary to utilize it in best possible manner and once we do that everything in surrounding can serve as self-defense weapon. We can also make the best use of hands and legs but not in every case specially when other person is having weapon or when attacked by an animal.

So, in such scenarios some of the widely suggested and used self-defense weapons are:



Self-Defense Weapons

“Self-defense weapons are usually small in size so that they can be carried easily.”

Stun gun:

It delivers an electric shock at a voltage which disturbs the muscle movement and it ultimately results in pain. Providing the enough time and chance to snatch others weapon or to run away from trouble.


Pepper spray:

It is sprayed at face and as a result it irritates eyes in such a manner that the victim can barely open them for next few minutes, providing enough time to the user to escape or call for help.


Monkey Fist:

It is a steel ball wrapped by rope sometimes, heavy in weight, resembling man’s fist, was first used by sailors but now widely for defending own self. It is also used in street fights.


Knives:

The most widely used self-defense weapon it is. As it is easily available and present in almost every house.


Paper cutter:

Somewhere it serves in same manner as knives do, but results are less harmful that’s why people prefer it.


Key chains:

They are the easiest to carry as they are so tiny and mostly have pointed sharp ends which serve as weapons when in danger.


Importance of self-defense weapons:

They are helpful for everyone irrespective of gender and age. For the sake of argument, it is believed that they best serve the women and then the children. Women carry self-defense weapons in their hand bags. This reduces the risk of being kidnapped, raped and murdered. If they have self-defense weapons in their bags, they feel more confident and surely then they do not need anyone to guard them or to protect them, instead they rescue their own selves easily in case of trouble. Similarly, children can carry self-defense weapons in their pockets to avoid any tragic incident. Almost everyone can carry them along. Due to their size it becomes easy for everyone to hide them in pockets or bags so that only they know where it is and in case of trouble can take them out.


Misuse of Self-defense Weapons:

Every coin has two sides. One might be beneficial and other might be harmful. Using anything without its proper knowledge or without understanding the concept and actual reason behind its invention can lead to trouble. These weapons are beneficial for our protection and security but only when used at appropriate time. When these weapons are used for jokes or used in anger , or better stating that self-defense weapon when used in danger is the only appropriate use, apart from it used in any situation is a misuse and when misused it has more disastrous effects than anything else. Its misuse is not acceptable at all as it may result in lost of lives. So we need to understand its usage before buying them and before using them. Especially when handing these weapons to children, a proper session should be arranged in which they should be taught that in what scenarios they can use it and how they have to use it so that less harm can occur in troublesome scenarios as well.

Let’s see which of these weapons you decide to keep in pocket.
