The Top 5 Easy to Use and Carry Self-Defense Weapons:

Self defense weapons are any weapon that is useful in a fight. A defense weapon can be of many different types, including personal weapons such as guns, knives, rocks and sticks. In some jurisdictions certain objects may only be used for defense if they are explicitly allowed by the law or are not already banned. Next question is, when will you use your defensive weapon?

One good example is when you're attacked at home or in your vehicle and someone attempts to steal something from you. Throwing a rock could cause an assailant to flee from the scene of the crime (and thus potentially prevent further damage) before calling the police. Another example is when someone enters your private property without your explicit consent (such as perhaps trespassing at night).

These weapons come in many types and all these are useful for self defense. You can easily use them for your protection. You can choose the one of your choice from a variety of weapons. Here are the most useful defensive weapons for you:

1.  Pepper Spray

Pepper spray is a self-defense tool that you can purchase at most sporting goods stores, convenience stores, and even online retailers. Pepper spray is great for those who want a side effect free defense mechanism. The active ingredient in pepper spray is Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) which causes an intense burning sensation when it comes in contact with the eye or skin. 

The OC enters the bloodstream and overstimulates nerve cells causing them to fire signals until they are exhausted and the cell dies. OC has no lasting effects on humans and will wear off in minutes or hours depending on the strength of concentration used.

2.          Self Defense Knives

Within seconds, you could have your attacker groaning on the ground with a knife to their throat. You'll be able to use your self-defense knives for protection in a variety of situations, from home invasions to bear attacks. There are some awesome self-defense knives and get ready to feel totally safe again!

The stiletto knife is one of the most intimidating weapons you can buy at cheap prices. It features an elongated blade and needle point, which makes it perfect for stabbing people who are running away from you.

Another knife is a pen knife. This is a pocket knife that you can easily carry in your pocket or purse. These knives are mainly used for self defense and people love to carry them for their safety purposes as they do not need special training to use them. 

3.          Brass Knuckles

Knuckles, or brass knuckles, are the next best thing to a gun when it comes to self-defense. These self defense weapons have been used for this purpose ever since they were invented in 18th century France as an alternative weapon for soldiers. 

Brass knuckles give you the power of an offensive weapon but keep your hands safe while you can still punch or grab someone who is attacking you. While there are some flaws to this form of defense, brass knuckles still do more damage than a belt buckle and are much easier to carry around without looking suspicious.

4.          Stun Guns

Stun guns are one of the most powerful self-defense weapons that is available to us. They can be a great way to protect yourself and your loved ones from an assailant. Many people wonder what the best types of stun guns are, who they're best for, and how they work. 

It's also a common question, "Should I carry a stun gun?" The answer is yes. If you are ever confronted by an assailant, you need to be prepared to defend yourself. The stun gun is easy and inexpensive to obtain. It comes in small and large sizes for different purposes. 

You can also purchase other types of weapons such as pepper spray or a knife, but the stun gun should always be your first choice because it is one of the most powerful defense weapons around. Many people are shocked when they hear that they can not only protect themselves but friends and loved ones as well.

5.          Self Defense Keychains

Self defense keychains are small, discreet self defense weapons that can be carried on a keychain and used in a pinch. What is the best self defense keychain? A quick search of the internet reveals that there are options for just about any budget, preference or personal style. However, certain features tend to recur amongst the most popular options available. 

For example, many people recommend choosing a keychain with an adjustable loop ring so it can be customized to fit on your existing keys as they get smaller over time. This way you don't need to buy another set of keys!

Final Words

Personally, I like stun guns as compared to other self defense weapons. A stun gun is easier to use at night and it's not as loud as the pepper spray canister. A stun gun creates a high voltage, low amperage electric shock that displaces motor function in the target. It causes a loss of balance and muscle control, resulting in an inability to move for 10 seconds or so. 

You don't have to be too close to the person for it to work because a gun sends out about 5-10 yards worth of electricity. Pepper spray does require you to be closer and you have less time before it wears off but it's not instant like with the taser guns that immobilize people for ten seconds or so.
