*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Self defense weapons fall into two broad categories, lethal and nonlethal. While many people have a hard time justifying using lethal force (such as a gun) even when their life is in danger, there are also those who question whether a nonlethal device will get the job done. The question is, are nonlethal self defense products effective at stopping attacks?
Nonlethal self defense products are actually an excellent option for those who would be too scared to use a gun, knife, or other potentially lethal weapon even when faced with a potentially deadly attack. Nonlethal alternatives, like pepper spray or a stun gun, are surprisingly easy to use, even without training. These devices have little opportunity for error, meaning that they are likely to work even if you don't know how to use them properly. Unlike a knife or gun, it isn't important to aim them at a small spot on your attacker, making it much more likely that they will hit their target.
When I comes to self defense, nonlethal self defense products may actually work better than potentially lethal ones. Remember, no self defense device will work if you're too scared to try it. Many people would be too afraid to shoot their attacker even if they were carrying a gun. Pepper spray and other self defense weapons, though, can make you much more confident, and you are much more likely to actually use one of these.
There are situations where you may not want to kill the attacker, but certainly want the attack to stop. For example, you may not want to kill an advancing wild animal, but you don't want to end up scratched or bitten. In this situation, pepper spray makes perfect sense. Pepper spray can be used for bringing down bears and other wild or domesticated animals; the same can't be said for a gun or other lethal self defense methods.
Anyone who tells you that a stun gun or pepper spray won't work has not seen them in action. Both devices are overwhelmingly effective. Your attacker will be brought to his knees in mere seconds with either device. There is simply no way to override the effects using will-power or any other method, and there are no antidotes for pepper spray. Studies have repeatedly found pepper spray, stun guns, and TASER; devices to be over 90 percent effective. Police studies have even shown that TASER devices bring down an attacker faster than a 9mm handgun.
Nonlethal self defense products work so well that they are carried by countless police departments, law enforcement agencies, and military units throughout the world. If you look closely, you'll probably notice a pepper spray canister, TASER device, or stun gun on the equipment belts worn by your local police officers. If you have any doubts as to their effectiveness, just consider the fact that they are used every day, all over the world, by officers who are also carrying guns.
With so many self defense products out there, it can be hard to know which you can rely on. Pepper spray, stun guns, and TASER devices are all effective. The choice is up to you and which type of device you are more comfortable carrying.
